360 virtual tours make you feel that you
can almost touch what you see. 360 panoramic virtual tour
images breathe life in your tired pages. The visions created
makes you feel as if you are there. 360 virtual tours are a
cost effective way of achieving this. Virtual tours use high
definition photography, which fits easily on your website. You
can have any field of view within the sphere that you desire,
as well as regular still images.
360 virtual tours require special fish eye lens cameras, which
take panoramic photographs of the scene giving a 360-degree
image, which allows the online visitor to look at the image
from every direction, in a seamless fashion. The result is a
true representation of what the online visitor sees in high
definition colour, bringing out the accuracy of the detail
within every shot. The resulting images are suitable for
online and offline formats.
The resultant images fits comfortably into websites in a
Java-compatible format, requiring no plugin or QuickTime VR.
The result is a virtual tour of the hotel, apartment, school,
retail outlet, or whatever in high-resolution imagery on your
website. 360 virtual tours can be used for offline promotional
material such as exhibition or for display in head quarters
foyers or offices.
360 virtual tours can be based on java as well as quick time.
In java based virtual tour, there is no need to download and
install a plug-in. however the image quality of a 360º Java
based virtual tour is slightly lower than that of a 360º
QuickTime virtual tour, and the file size is usually a little
larger than its QuickTime counterpart. It is recommended that
both 360 java and quick time virtual tour should be used in
order to have a greater advantage.
To view a 360 virtual tour you must have Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator version 4 or above. You must
also make sure you have your browser ‘Java Enabled’. Hotspot
is the major component of virtual tours. it is a link within
the 360° panoramic image itself, usually to another 360°
virtual tour. By linking a number of 360º virtual tours
together in this way you can have ‘walk though’ tour of hotel,
museum, factory etc enabling yourself to move from one
location to the next at your own pace. Hotspots can also be
used to link of to other web pages. For example, the viewer
could link to a web page containing further information on an
item or person within a 360 virtual tour simply by clicking on
it. |
