Hotspots
Hotspots are clickable areas of a panorama used to launch some actions, such as
opening a URL or linking your project to another panorama to create a virtual tour
made of several panoramas. You can walk around a virtual tour and go from one
panorama to the other with the help of hotspots.
Hotspots are drawn directly in the
Stitching Window
in the
Hotspot
mode. You can
link hotspots to any URL and define pan, tilt, and zoom parameters for a target
panorama.
NOTE You can only export hotspots to QuickTime VR. Virtual tours produced by Stitcher are
not suitable for viewing directly in the QuickTime player and can only be viewed on the Web
through the QuickTime plug-in.
You cannot use hotspots in an HDR project.
