I like almost everything about this approach to navigation, although
I must point out that the compass doesn't work in 9.62 in on my office
computer (XP-SP2). It just sits there pointing in the same direction
all the time. I particularly like the fact that hotspots are virtually
invisible when you don't click on "show" and resume their near
invisibility once you have moused over them. This minimalist approach
to hot spots causes the least possible disruption of normal panorama
enjoyment.
I would prefer the rotating spheres to rotate with the panorama once
the panorama has been downloaded and is being viewed, but I guess that
might be a lot more processing intensive. On the other hand, they would
be stationary when viewing any one part of the scene without panning...
It might work to have them stop rotating as soon as the panorama has
been downloaded and just have them update to the current view when
panning stops.
