Moon with displacement map I played again a little bit with A-FRAME to create the moon. Thanks go to CG BOOST for giving me the link to the NASA image and displacement map from the moon and to the Museum of Science in Boston hat created the nice 360° star background . https://github.com/supertobi/aframe-moon-with-displacement-map Earth with moon But the Moon was not enough. I created a earth and now the moon is rotating around the earth: If you have a VR headset please use it! The earth and cloud textures are again from the NASA and then improved with GIMP.   https://github.com/supertobi/aframe-earth-with-moon Matterhorn Then even closer to the ground I made a 3D piece from the Alps with the Matterhorn. I was inspirited by @Taky_ed Matterhorn, I used GIMP for editing the textures, A-FRAME for displaying and the stars background from Museum of Science in Boston .   https://github.com/supertobi/A-FrameMatterhorn

1823 Adolph Kaiser Panoramic View from the Grosser Inselsberg, Germany in VR Adolph Kaiser: Panorama Inselsberg. Bild: Klassik Stiftung Weimar This is an Adolph Kaiser panorama view from the top of the Grosser Inselsberg , the highest mountain in German's Thuringian Forest. The over 200 different locations are numerically identified within the view and correspond to an index organized in wedges surrounding the view's center. The view illustrates the mountains and trees surrounding the Großer Inslelsberg. I'd like to thank the "Klassik Stiftung Weimar" for providing me a hi-resolution scan of the image . This is the result after changing the projection with Hugin and some tweaking in GIMP : Thanks to A-Frame I can now embed it as VR view here: The result in google photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/qNdzLtRdgzNUkaqa9 The location in open street map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Inselsberg#map=19/50.85117/10.46638

This is a follow up of my last post "Panorama of old vase in VR" . The team from Klassik Stiftung Weimar asked me if it is possible to view the panorama directly into the blog without the link to google photos. My first answer was no, but then I started to research. I liked the idea to be a little bit more independent from Google. Google stopped the support of the Daydream last year and there will be no new smartphone with Daydream support. That means I will need to find other VR glasses if my smartphone will ever stop working. The good news is, I found A-Frame , an open-source web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences. A-Frame supports most VR headsets such as Vive, Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, Daydream, GearVR, Cardboard, Oculus Go, and can even be used for augmented reality. I found this very simple example to convert an equirectangular panorama to a 360° VR panorama. I just needed to add this eight line to the post and voila it's done. ...
