Virtual Reality Mapping

I've been thinking a petty fleck today nigh how to display maps inwards virtual reality. Greenpeace's purpose of a map superimposed on pinnacle of a 360 marking panoramic video in Gestrandete Wale points to how maps tin terminate endure superimposed on pinnacle of a cube map inwards a VR scene.

Another method mightiness endure to house a map on the 'ground' inwards a 360 marking panorama. In other words a user interaction of looking downward inwards a VR environs map tin terminate endure used to disclose a map of the VR world. You tin terminate genuinely run across an illustration of this inwards a novel promotional website for the painting present The Legend of Tarzan.

When you lot percentage your place alongside The Legend of Tarzan you lot travel into a 360 marking panoramic jungle scene. This scene includes superimposed links to take in other interactive content nigh the movie. However, if you lot await downward at the ground, you lot tin terminate sentiment an interactive map which shows the nearest cinemas to your location, where the painting present is currently showing.

I suspect that this Legend of Tarzan website mightiness endure United Kingdom of Great Britain together with Northern Ireland only. If sharing your place alongside the site doesn't travel together with therefore essay entering a United Kingdom of Great Britain together with Northern Ireland postcode instead ('RH10 5LU' worked for me).

Creating a panoramic cube map is instantly fairly straightforward using WebGL. Adding a static map to a panoramic scene should likewise endure really simple. It tin terminate endure done past times only superimposing a static map on pinnacle of ane of the vi images which brand upwards your panoramic environment. Adding an interactive map to a panoramic scene volition conduct keep a petty to a greater extent than work.
