3D stereoscopic viewing of 360 panoramic rendering with VR Headset on PC.

2020 Fusion supports 3D stereoscopic viewing of 360 panoramas with supported VR headset on a computer screen. This enables you to view the 360 Panorama directly from your internet browser on your computer screen.

1. Within the 360 view on your computer internet browser, click on the VR Icon.




2. This will split the 360 view into Stereoscopic mode.



Please note that this functionality only extends to the viewing of multi-point 360° Panoramas from a series of fixed points and the movement from one fixed point to another when using such ‘VR’ devices (entirely consistent with the existing behavior for the smartphone based solution); it does not also extend to free movement/navigation within the 360° Panorama itself.
