You have to own and use their products to be able to use the player. <small>--[[User:Cheathamlane|Patrick]] 7:18, 20 August 2008 (PST)</small><br />
:Actually you can use Immervision player without their tools. It's quite simple once you know the XML structure. But I actually don't know whether you can get all the relevant information for free. I must admit, that I learned how to create the XML only after having used the tools.<small>--[[User:Erik Krause|Erik Krause]] 20:46, 20 August 2008 (CEST)</small><br />
:Erik is right, that's how it works. If someone sends you a panorama (*.ivp) created with their product, the viewer is free. And if you use the Java-based viewers, then you can do whatever you want if you know XML and it is still free. <small>--[[User:Cahe|Cahe]] 10:47, 29 August 2008 (EST)</small><br />
:: It's even possible without using XML, they have sample code in their FAQ: [http://www.immervision.com/en/multimedia/multimedia_faq/multimedia_faq.php#2_2] However, I don't know whether it's legal to publish all the details. Would be a nice addition to [[HTML code for several viewers]] (which still needs to be completed anyway...) <small>--[[User:Erik Krause|Erik Krause]] 16:12, 6 September 2008 (CEST)</small><br />
:::Since it is on their webpage, I don't see the problem to mention some of them in fact. But they have a reference guide with everything in it so perhaps an example or 2 would be enough to give an idea. <small> [[User:Cahe|Cahe]] 22:29, 16 September 2008 (CEST) </small></div>Cahehttps://wiki.panotools.org/index.php?title=Talk:Panorama_Viewers&diff=10752Talk:Panorama Viewers2008-08-29T14:53:25Z<p>Cahe: /* Aren't the Immervision tools commercial? */</p>

<br />
Ok did that -- Bruno<br />
<br />
== abandoned software? ==<br />
<br />
the external link doesn't work anymore, http://www.allfreegroup.com/pano/ redirects to a new domain and the article [[Panorama Viewers]] says that ''panoviewer is an Open Source stand-alone viewer now superceded by panoglview (Windows, Linux)''. Is there some more information available for this software or is it better to delete the article? <small>--[[User:Zarl|Carl]] 17:02, 30 September 2007 (CEST)</small><br />
<br />
What's even worse: ''Panoviewer'' is both an [[Panoviewer|article]] and also a redirect to [[Panorama Viewers|another article]]! <small>--[[User:Zarl|Carl]] 17:14, 30 September 2007 (CEST)</small><br />
