Hi Willy,
I am not opposing to have the Hotspots on by default on a website like
the 360cities.net.
But I think they do need to be carefully designed to be as unobtrusive
as possible and the placement on the images have to be meaningful i.e.
should be placed in a way that you want to go to and them this interface
will be great because the action to load the next pano while zooming in
on the previous one is a brilliant KR Pano Viewer feature.
On your panorama: http://360cities.net/image/olaias-metro-station
You have a cluster of hotspots directed to a wall that doesn't make
sense at all and worse is that they are over each other so it's very
difficult to select one to click.
If the hotspots in this example are crammed on top of each other why
putting it there in the first place?
This is clearly a bad design decision to have them show in that way!
By the way Jeff, when trying to use the hotspots the mentioned panorama,
I tried to zoom in to see if I could separate the hotspots a bit more to
be able to click on them and noticed that if you use the mouse wheel to
zoom in, you loose control of the panorama when zooming out because the
page starts to scroll down instead of zooming out and you loose sight of
the panorama.
I saw this behavior in IE,FF and Opera while with Safari my mouse wheel
didn't even work for the zoom in function.
Os melhores cumprimentos,
Best regards,
