This was shot as a cylindrical QTVR (it’s a complete 360 degree view) but I am experimenting with adding Hype documents into a WordPress post so this is being shown as a scrollable image. If you drag your mouse to the left or if you swipe on an iOS device, you can move the image. If you click or tap on the image, it will autoscroll.
The scene: The tide has passed its tipping point and beginning to come in more quickly across the flat of the beach. That line of clouds on the horizon? Those are typical of beautiful summer days on this beach. The sand is the red sand common along the Northumberland Strait and the Bay of Fundy.
HTML5 isn’t seen equally on all browsers, so if you can’t see this, I’d be most appreciative if you tell me what platform, what browser and what version of the browser you are using. As well, if you are walking “on the other side” and are using an Android phone, I’d love to know if you can see this and if the swipe works for you.
Hype is an amazingly affordable and easy-to-use app for creating web animations. You can check out their website here.
To add a Hype animation into a WordPress post, this is an excellent tutorial.
If you are new to HTML, Hype allows you to not understand code, but you’ll want to know about < p > (with no spaces). Going between Visual and HTML will break things, so once you add in the HTML as shown in the tutorial, if you’d like to add in text while staying in the HTML tab, the above command will allow you to create spaces between your paragraphs. If you need to know code for something else, such as hyperlinks, create a new document, type in what you would like in the visual, then convert to HTML and you’ll see the code that you need to use. Sound confusing? It’s amazingly simple.
