Avatour (http://avatour.com) is the 360° video communication platform enabling teams to collaborate on site - virtually.

Pre-requisites

Make sure the Igloo Media Player you are logging in from has a webcam attached. If not the application will get stuck at the login page. Create a virtual webcam if necessary.

Session

Avatour works on a session/meeting basis. If you know the session id then you can specify this with your name and join the session.

Integration

The Igloo-Avatour integration is accessible from a preference setting in the Avatour UI. It can also be specified with a URL parameter. When connected to an Avatour session, the ‘More’ button has a menu option called ‘Enable igloo’. When this is enabled, any 360 content which is shared will be rendered as a cubemap. This can then be viewed in an ICE WebView with the Cubemap to Equirectangular and TruePerspective effects applied.

The s parameter is the session id, the user parameter is the user name and igloo=1 enables igloo mode.
