If you haven't heard already, Microsoft has just released their flagship Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) for Windows 7 about a week ago, which we believe will spread pretty quickly.

We have identified a critical issue in this latest IE10 release for Win7 that breaks mouse dragging in all 360 product views running in JavaScript mode with WebRotate 360 Product Viewer v3.0 and also the latest WebRotate 360 Product Viewer Beta 3.5 build 111 (limited release).

To fix the issue in your existing v3.0 deployments, please download imagerotator.js using the following link (the file is inside the zip) and copy it over imagerotator.js located under your imagerotator/html/js folder on your webserver. To update your SpotEditor (desktop) installation, please first find imagerotator.zip in your SpotEditor application installation folder and replace imagerotator.js inside this zip (located under html/js inside the zip).

DOWNLOAD FIX FOR V3.0

PS: if you are using the latest 3.5 release of our 360 photography software (it's just a couple of weeks old, so very few folks are using it at the moment), you can download updated build here. Only imagerotator.js under imagerotator/html/js has been affected since the last beta drop.

Here's a pretty interesting 360 view of the Creation Museum's 3D model of Lucy published in the digital edition of the Answers magazine. It's always nice to see our hot-spots in action - turns out they are great not just for the 360 product photo annotations but for historical records as well!

This is not the first time our WebRotate 360 Product Viewer came handy in showcasing historical artifacts. We've also helped The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Natural History Museum of United Kingdom in London with their 360 object photography. Museums are looking into enhancing their web presence these days and our interactive 360 photography software helps in achieving this goal.

We think that's the way to go!

Just wanted to share a post from our forum with the current status of Mac OSX 10.8 support (confirmed by the client):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have done a few more tests on clean OSx 10.8 with latest updates, and SpotEditor seems to be working fine as-is (the same copy as in our free 360 viewer download).

To make it work on OSx 10.8 we have installed the latest X11 2.7.4 via http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

And you also need to install Mono framework using this link (same as as per our readme in the free download):http://download.mono-project.com/archiv ... in.x86.dmg

Also, it looks like you have to restart your computer after initial installation of X11 on fresh Mac OSx for it to start working with our app.
