VR Tourviewer update! Version 1.1 build 243

[Ruud van Reenen]

A new update of VR Tourviewer is now available: version 1.1 build 243

Full changelog here: https://www.vrtourviewer.com/docs/changelog

VR TOURVIEWER FOR QUEST

A much requested version is now available for download: VR Tourviewer for Oculus Quest. It's not available through the Oculus Store/Library yet, but can be 'side loaded' to your Quest. Detailed instructions on how to that, including a link to the download page can be found here. For both the Rift and the Quest versions, the Touch controller can now be used as a laser pointer.

SWIPE TO ROTATE VIEW

You can now use the touchpad on the Oculus Go controller or the thumbsticks on the Oculus Touch to rotate the view. This is ideal if you're in a fixed chair and can't easily look behind you. Just swipe left or right to adjust your view.

IMPROVED AUDIO AND VIDEO PLAYBACK

Directional audio is now also available for video overlays. For panoramic video, an issue has been solved that caused a short black or white screen right before playback.

TIMER FOR NODE HOTSPOT

You can now add a timer to a hotspot to trigger a click. This can be used to automatically load the next panorama after 10 seconds for example. More info here!

THANK YOU!

Several bugfixes have made the app more reliable and graphic and audio issues have been fixed. Thanks a lot to everyone who reported the issues they encountered, and everyone who requested certain features. The app will keep improving because of your feedback! So if you have any issues or a feature request, please let me know.
Big thanks to everyone!

Due to an issue with version 1.1.243 causing the Default View of a panorama to be ignored, an update was released on 2019-06-21 which fixes this. If you're using 1.1.243 please update to 1.1.244.

For Oculus Go you can find the update in your Oculus Library.
For Oculus Rift you can download it here: https://www.vrtourviewer.com/download-vr-tourviewer-for-rift/
For Oculus Quest you can download it here: https://www.vrtourviewer.com/download-vr-tourviewer-for-quest/

The VR Tourviewer Remote version 1.1.243 doesn't have this issue, so it won't need an update, it can be used with VR devices running VR Tourviewer version 1.1.244.
