I've been thinking a piffling chip today nigh how to display maps inward virtual reality. Greenpeace's operate of a map superimposed on summit of a 360 flat panoramic video in Gestrandete Wale points to how maps tin endure superimposed on summit of a cube map inward a VR scene.
Another method powerfulness endure to house a map on the 'ground' inward a 360 flat panorama. In other words a user interaction of looking downwards inward a VR surroundings map tin endure used to bring out a map of the VR world. You tin truly meet an illustration of this inward a novel promotional website for the film The Legend of Tarzan.
When you lot part your place amongst The Legend of Tarzan you lot instruct inward a 360 flat panoramic jungle scene. This scene includes superimposed links to watch other interactive content nigh the movie. However, if you lot hold off downwards at the ground, you lot tin thought an interactive map which shows the nearest cinemas to your location, where the film is currently showing.
I suspect that this Legend of Tarzan website powerfulness endure United Kingdom of Great Britain in addition to Northern Ireland of Britain in addition to Northern Republic of Ireland only. If sharing your place amongst the site doesn't piece of occupation in addition to then endeavor entering a United Kingdom of Great Britain in addition to Northern Ireland of Britain in addition to Northern Republic of Ireland postcode instead ('RH10 5LU' worked for me).
Creating a panoramic cube map is similar a shot fairly straightforward using WebGL. Adding a static map to a panoramic scene should too endure real simple. It tin endure done past times exactly superimposing a static map on summit of i of the 6 images which brand upwards your panoramic environment. Adding an interactive map to a panoramic scene volition direct maintain a piffling to a greater extent than work.
