We're happy to announce that we've implemented full-finger gesture control on touch-screen devices in v5.2 of WebRotate 360 Product Viewer, scheduled for release in January 2025.
This means your visitors can now pinch to zoom and use two-finger panning on your 360 product views in a seamless, predictable way. Combined with existing WebRotate 360 features - like incremental zooming and concurrent spin & pan while zoomed - the new gesture support offers unmatched capabilities.
Check out this quick video demonstrating these features. Most of the example 360 views on our website, including the one on our home page (featuring the same 360 vehicle view shown in the video), already have these new capabilities enabled.
v5.2 is a maintenance release that, in addition to new gesture support, includes a handful of minor improvements and bug fixes. It will be offered free of charge to all customers currently on v5. Our PixRiot service, npm package, and the CMS plugins (e.g., WordPress, Adobe Commerce, Joomla etc.) will also receive the new core v5.2 update in January.
For PixRiot customers, we're also releasing Teams in January, allowing multiple members to use one PixRiot account under four different roles: Admin, Editor, Viewer, and Billing:
We've revised private folders as well, so you can now share a folder with a third party for uploads and public sharing of its contents. Previously, folders were too restrictive - you could share them, but you couldn't upload or share 360 views properly. This has now been addressed.
We can't wait for you to try these new features! Let us know if you have any questions, and thank you for your continued support.
