Integration

This integration is built by the ThingLink development team supported by the Igloo application integration team. The integration enables the 360 image and video output to be displayed in a suitable format for Igloo immersive spaces.

Usage

Create a WebView in Igloo Core Engine with the following settings:

  • Set the layer size to be 6x1 aspect ratio (e.g. 6000x1000px, 12000x2000px). You will need to set the Dynamic Resolution toggle to ā€˜Offā€™ in order to set the resolution of the WebView.

  • Add the Cubemap to Equirectangular effect.

  • Add the TruePerspective effect.

  • URL: add cubemap to the end of the URL (https://www.thinglink.com/view/scene/{id}/cubemap) e.g. https://www.thinglink.com/view/scene/1586393881010765825/cubemap
