Hi
I’m creating an ePub in Indesign and want to add in a 360 Panoramic quicktime movie. I’m using software to create the 360 panorama and have various output options. I can generate a Flash version, which I can add to Indesign and the 360 panorama works when I export the ePub (and a PDF), but only on my Mac. The Flash version of the 360 doesn’t display when transferred to an iPad (obviously because the iPad doesn’t support Flash).
So from my 360 pano software I want to output in an alternate format to Flash, such as Quicktime VR or HTML5. Is there anyway to add this into Indesign? Or are there any other alternatives to achieve want I’m after?
Thanks

Hi David
My company’s software ‘CircularFLO’ https://www.circularflo.com lets you place webcode and widgets onto your InDesign pages and then output to fixed layout EPUB. This includes the addition of 360 panoramas.
Take a look at pages 2 and 3 of this sample https://www.circularflo.com/2015/06/30/new-web-code-sample-ebook-created-using-circularflo/ to see examples of 360 panoramas and slideshows that actually connect with the iPad gyro so you can move the iPad to look around the scene.
One CircularFLO user has even published their EPUB to a Google Cardboard VR headset. It’s pretty cool :)
Please contact me for more info and to try CircularFLO.
Thanks

Hi Ken
Thanks for the info. I’ve just had a quick look at your site, it looks like an interesting piece of software. I may give the demo a go, but I’m not sure that my boss will spend any money on the ePub I’m creating.
Thanks again

Thanks Ken! I’m sure circularFlo would be an awesome option.
But I also wonder if just linking to the youtube video would work? (probably only when online)

Thanks David
I’ll take a look at that and see if it will work with what I’m trying to achieve.
