Viond Builder1.2

Viond is a rather innovative tool that takes multimedia design to a new level by combining photos and videos in a unique way to create 360-degree projects which provide an interactive experience.It has two distinct components for authoring as well as management and publishing. Viond is likely to seem confusing when firing it up for the first time because it doesn't take a traditional approach toward creating multimedia projects out of common images and videos. Instead, there are some interactive elements visible throughout the operation which, unfortunately, are not accompanied by descriptions.

Create nodes out of pictures and videos, edit properties

However, you can load the example project provided by Viond to get a better idea of how the builder works. Pictures and clips can be inserted as different nodes, after which you can edit the properties of each node such as name, file path, high-resolution media path (if any), projection type, and time events.For example, time events can mean starting sound, triggering a transition or showing an interactive element once a certain number of seconds have passed. When the video ends, it can start all over again (loop), trigger another transition, or do nothing.

Set node relationships and configure settings

In the following step, you can make node associations (relationships) by clicking the first and second node. Relationship properties can be modified too, like setting an instant transition or preserving the node time.Meanwhile, visible or invisible photos, audio tracks, video clips, stereo images or spatial audio can be turned into interactive elements and inserted into the nodes to make the 360-degree experience one of a kind. Various parameters can be established for these interactive elements, such as distance to the user, horizontal and vertical angle, scale, and interactions (e.g. select, gaze in or out).

Export and publish your interactive experiences

Once the project is over, all associated resource files can be exported to any directory on the disk or prepared for mobiles. Afterward, you can head over to the "Management and publishing" section of Viond, sign up for a free account, and publish your interactive experiences online (on the developer's website), which can be shared with your friends.All aspects considered, Viond delivers a unique experienced toward creating 360-degree projects from pictures and video clips, filled with interactive elements for the user.
