This page contains information about the Chaos Cloud Collaboration Virtual tour Hotspots.
Overview
Hotspots are interactive navigational elements integrated within an image that enable you to easily "move" from one image to another. These hotspots can be visually represented in various forms, such as circles or arrows, and often respond to user actions like clicks or hovers. By clicking on a hotspot, you can transition seamlessly to related images, enhancing the overall viewing experience and providing a dynamic way to explore content.

Auto Generate
The Auto generate function provides a quick way to generate cross-linked hotspots between the virtual tour panoramas from the same 3D project.
Currently, this feature is available for panoramas created with Chaos Enscape 4.1.1, Chaos V-Ray 7 and Chaos Corona 12 U2 and above.
Connect panoramas – Defines the panorama connection type
Previous and next – Connects panoramas based on their order in the virtual tour.
All panoramas - Connects every panorama to every other panorama in the virtual tour.
Hotspot settings – Adjusts the hotspot visualization. The controls work the same as with manual hotspots.
Keep existing hotspots – When enabled, it keeps previously created hotspots while generating the new ones.
Immersive Panorama Transitions
To automatically adjust the orientation when moving from one panorama to another using a hotspot, make two cross-linked hotspots in the two panoramas. This gives the impression that you are advancing through the space.
If there is no two-way link between panoramas or you are using the gallery to move to a new panorama, it will be opened with its default orientation.
Make sure the default Automatic panorama setting is selected to obtain a flawless transition with cross-linked hotspots.
