Another cool sample by folks at See 360 Degrees photo studio in Carnegie, Australia using our latest v3 release. It really shows how this technology can work even without object rotation - just click on the image below.

By the way, the upcoming minor release will have a couple of settings designed specifically for this type of 360 degree product animations.

Another idea is to duplicate 360 degree photos used in this animation in reverse order and add them to the end of the original sequence - this will eliminate the abrupt ending of the animation at the end of the sequence - something we should probably add as an automated feature in our 360 photography software.

Here's one impressive 360 view or rather 3D view by Gigabyte of their new line of laptops - U2442N.

It's running our older viewer v3 beta, but it features really stylish clean customization of controls that we surprisingly don't see too often out there (it's a really simple CSS change!). 3D rendering and hot-spots are also super cool. This again highlights how 3D CAD renderings can be successfully used in online product presentations in conjunction with the interactive capabilities that we offer in our 360 photo software.

Click on the image below to see it in action. There are a few more 360 views of other nice laptops there to explore. Great job Gigabyte!

This is just a quick announcement ahead of the official release of our first WordPress 360 Viewer Plugin. You can download the Beta module now! Or just click the image below.

March 27, 2013 - New WordPress Integration for WebRotate 360 Product Viewer has been released. Visit this page for more information

Follow these steps to install the plugin:

• Unzip and copy the webrotate360 folder from the archive to your wordpress/wp-content/plugins folder.
• Login to your wordpress admin and select Plugins on the left.
• Navigate to the webrotate360 row in the Plugin view and select Activate.
• Go to you page or post and you should see there a new section called WebRotate360 Configuration just below the page / post edit box.
• Switch to HTML mode on the page / post edit box and choose the right location for your 360 view within your layout, and add an empty <div> element with the id being webrotate360, and then style the div accordingly (width, height, borders, etc). You can use the following sample for a quick test: <div id="webrotate360" style="width:600px; height: 450px; border: 1px dotted #cecfd2; position: static"></div>
• Navigate to that WebRotate360 Configuration section below the post and enter a full URL path to webrotate360 viewer configuration XML file on your server that you would need to upload to your server by copying 360_assets folder that SpotEditor creates during publishing. The field looks as follows on our (local) server for a test 360 view: http://localhost:8080/wordpress/360_assets/sample/config.xml
• Publish or update the post / page and the viewer should show up inside this div you added in the HTML view.

There's one limitation at the moment that is mainly applicable to posts (not pages) in that you can't have more than one 360 view at any time on the same page (like in the blog view with multiple full posts on the same page one after another).
