Joshua Tree 360° VR Gallery - First Test of DLUX Gallery

Here's a few images ripped from 360° videos I took at Joshua Tree.

Over at DLUX we've been meaning to build a simple 360° uploader, and yesterday we received a comment from @hallmann asking for it as well. So, @disregardfiat and I threw this together in under 24 hours, and it works!

The uploader is live at dlux.io/new, doesn't require any code, and publishes straight to HIVE.

Just drag and drop your images, name them if you want, and a VR gallery is automatically constructed. Currently the thumbnails (1:1 ratio) are just squeezed versions of the source photo (2:1 ratio), and the thumbnail name defaults to the source file name, which can be edited or removed completely.

There's definitely still some issues we need to work out. For instance, the layout of the thumbnails will just continue in a straight line, which is not ideal. And IPFS pinning is questionable at best with RTrades going offline. We'd love to be able to do this with video as well, maybe with 3Speak integration in the future.

All-in-all, we think it's pretty cool. If you've got some 360° photos you've been dying to put on HIVE, now you have the tool - free and open source, just like everything DLUX!

Check it out in VR on your phone, computer, or headset!

That is cool!

Thank you for believing in @dlux-io!

I did a test, but there are some bugs. Look here..

  1. No thumbnail in post.
  2. Moreover I can't watch it on my iPhone (I see part of the image but there is no move).

However on my computer it works.

Good luck!

The experience should work in mobile and VR browsers now.

It sure does, nicely done! I also just tested it in my Quest headset, works as intended 👍

I don't imagine it would be too hard to get the pictures in the post. 🤔Unfortunately we are slightly behind in the way mobile OS handles security. We'll be attempting to fix the phone/VR headset issue today.

Time to go on your Hive Tour

This is awesome, I take a lot of 360 images so I'd like to contribute some here. i will have to check it out.

Your 360s look great, nice to see adventure in the sky and mountains.

Our 360 builder has gone through some major updates, including SPK file hosting integration. I did a tutorial of how to use it here: https://peakd.com/hive-161511/@markegiles/lelezpxm

You can get 30MB SPK contracts free on DLUX and we'll keep the contract stored while we're beta testing the SPK network. When you're ready to try posting head to: https://vue.dlux.io/new/360-gallery/
