If you are doing this in Unity there is a free plugin on the asset store. I forget the name but you put in gps co-ordinates and it creates a skybox of the Google Maps images for that location. It does include watermarked Google logos but they’re not too intrusive and a bit of photoshop should cure that. You can then create the hotspots or gaze-input actions for VR using the regular Unity tools.

This is coming on the outside fence: funky open and free Web VR tools - https://aframe.io/

They do a nice non-Google Tiltbrush thing, accessed as Web VR

Might be something there to do the trick...

Hi all

 

How would you go about creating Google Street-View like internal panoramas which had clickable hotspots to get into deeper content? Like the Ai Weiwei 360 thing that the RA did?

 

I’ve found a few likely looking candidates but real-world “watch out for X” or “we tried Y” would be really useful.

 

cheers
