Sensitive to what else is happening on the computer (I am pushing the limits of slow and smooth) so there is an occasional hitch - better in Safari than Firefox. Can't have that when it is 30 feet in diameter, 2K X 2K pixels or bigger! But not bad on the web. http://is.gd/9MA1x Still a pretty big file (45MB) but it runs OK.

But I'll try and let you know. I suspect the high resolution of the photo texture, plus the orbit, will choke in a web version. But I’ll try and let you know.

The network functions generally still work too to go and get data :) Thats very cool and very neat :)

Unity is great for this. Check this Unity app (universal binary for Mac): http://www.gomaya.com/glyph/builds/ChurchOrbit7Univ.app.zip Warning - it is a big download (58MB) and you will need an internet connection when you run it to get the orbital simulation XML that it pulls from my site. Equirectangular photo inside the sphere, simulation + camera on a track. Cheers! I have also been playing with hemispheres and spheres, towards RW dome projection. Unity is great for this.
