krpano was always fully independent and will be also in future. Thanks to Pepe Vazquez (360 Tips & Tricks) for bringing this to my attention!įor Kolor Panotour users here is a comment and some good news from Klaus the developer of Krpano the core on which Panotour is based:įrom krpano side basically nothing will change or be different now.
#AUTOPANO PRO UPGRADE SOFTWARE#
Hopefully Kolor’s closure leads to a stronger GoPro and to increased business for PTGui and Mistika, and virtual tour software such as Pano2VR.
What is surprising to me is why GoPro didn’t sell Kolor’s intellectual property to Adobe or other companies (perhaps it might still happen). Although GoPro’s stock has improved in the last 4 months, and even recently set a new high for 2018, Kolor’s closing appears to be a direct consequence of GoPro’s financial issues. However, GoPro has been under a lot of financial pressure due to declining sales and its stock plummeted in August 2015. Its Autopano stitching software and Panotour virtual tour software have been among the leading products in the 360 and VR industry.
Kolor was purchased by GoPro in late April 2015.
However, GoPro Fusion Studio and GoPro VR Plugin will continue to be available here. Kolor products will no longer be sold on, nor will the software be updated. Kolor, makers of VR stitching software Autopano Video and Autopano Giga, and virtual tour software Panotour, announced that they are closing their doors effective September 14, 2018.
