The summer of 2026 has been marked by a major wave of new features and optimizations for PaneoVR.
Version 2.2 further improves PaneoVR 2. All users can now label interaction elements to make them easier to identify in the Diagram Editor and Player Editor (right-click the respective element).
Holders of an Education or Enterprise license can also use a special new feature: exporting individual PaneoVR scenarios as standalone applications (found under Open via the download icon).

Version 2.3 will finally introduce the much-anticipated feature for importing and using 3D models in late summer. This will also make it possible to place hotspots/interaction elements on documents/images and on 3D models.
Multiplayer will also be enhanced with better session controls.

We would also like to remind you about the ongoing civil protection competition, which runs until 30.11.2026. You can find all the details here: https://paneovr.net/call-for-immersive-scenarios/

List of all updates in PaneoVR 2.2 and 2.3

All versions:

• Interaction elements can be given a label that is visible in both editors (right-click the respective element).
• Added a zoom feature for images on handheld and desktop devices
• The system now automatically creates recoverable backups of earlier versions of edited projects, and manual backups can also be created (under Open->context menu for the respective project)
• Users are now notified in the tool when others share content with them and will need to accept the invitation
• Import and processing of 3D models
• New interaction element: Drop-Zones – for tasks such as „Sort these elements into categories“ or „Place this object in the correct location“

Professional versions (Education/Enterprise):

• Export as a standalone app: Export your own apps that work independently of the PaneoVR live system and can be distributed through internal management platforms.
• Local remote control expanded: Put an Android/iOS/Windows/Mac app into remote control mode (under Settings) and search for devices on the Wi-Fi network that are running PaneoVR to control them remotely (requires enabling this feature within the organization settings or enabling it separately on the respective device).
• Multiplayer Update: In multiplayer, control permissions can be assigned. Participants in a session can take notes and talk to one another.
