PTViewer3d Prof. Dr. H. Dersch - HFU Furtwangen This panorama viewer uses depthmaps to calculate stereoscopic images on-the-fly from monoscopic images. Unlike conventional viewers it provides stereoscopic vision vertically up and down as well as z-rotated views and head-motion parallax. This is a javascript port of previous desktop and java implementations. It requires a recent WebGL enabled browser and has been tested on Firefox. It is free software (GPL), see the Javascript sources for the license text. Example Panoramas Click image to load panorama. 1. Depthmap based Stereo Views are calculated using a monoscopic image and depthmap. Zenith/Nadir-stereoscopy is feasible as well as z-axis rotation and head motion parallax ('wiggle'). 2. Dual-Image based Stereo Conventional stereoscopic viewer: Views are calculated from top-bottom panoramic image *). Display Format Stereobase % of width. Wiggle amplitude % of width. Usage Pan, Tilt Keys 'wasd', Arrow-keys, klick-and-drag mouse. Zoom Keys '+-' z-rotate Keys 'yxz' Wiggle Key 'v' Fullscreen Mode Browser-specific (FF:Shift-Cmd-F)
