360o Photography
Increase your business digital awareness and exposure with Interactive VR tours
Clients, whether they are window shopping, looking for that first house, or trying to find a way around campus are all looking for that Wow factor! Something that piques their interest longer than the standard five seconds.
Immersing them into your business model is a start. Handing the reins over to them to control that experience and you begin to develop a bond that traditional web architectures fail to achieve on any level. (And I can hear you now, NO! They don’t need expensive goggles or high-tech computers to enjoy the feel. Everything can be appreciated on today’s phones, unless it’s a flip phone.)
An “engaged” visitor is a happy visitor. Providing them with necessary tools shop the content THEY that interest them, make informed choices will make on-line sales, get them through the front door, or provide you with a motivated rea estate buyer. The more information you provide, the less time spent doing whatever you do that doesn’t close the sale or deal.
Where Can You Find VR Photography?
Enterprise
You could have the most efficient staff money can buy, but one person can only engage one customer. An interactive VR experience on your web page can enhance, manage, and inform more customers than an army of staffers.
There’s no limit to the amount of information in a VR Tour
Real Estate
In real estate time is money. Why waste it on gas, missed calls, no-shows, or so-so buyers? Pre-qualify your cold calls by redirecting them to a VR Tour of the property first and save your time for motivated buyers out there.
The more information a buyer has beforehand will save time in the end.
EDU & Tourism
Lost students on opening day. Where’s this building, what’s the best route to take? What floor is my class on? Campus VR Tours are catching on with the media driven generations. Campus tours with short imbedded videos of faculty and staff go a long way to ease the first day.
Hometown tours with maps, photos, text, or audio or video waypoints can go a long way with tourist, or just getting people out and about.
The sky’s the limit!
What are Interactive VR Panos?
(It’s a Panoramic image on steroids)
VR Photography
VR photography was evolved from panoramas and advancements imaging software. A panorama (pano), is a wide-angle view of a scene or item. It is often found in landscape photography. The steroid part is accomplished by changing out the camera lens, adding specialized gear to a tri-pod, and custom software that is always changing. So, what does all this get you?
A composite of six or more images from the 4-points of the compass (360o), and a up and down camera angle (the spherical part). When stitched together, custom software, offers up a single spherical image, a complete scene, when viewed from a central point.
VR Tours
When two or more single-spherical images (above), are combined (more specialized software) in a sequence, it becomes a tour path comprised of nodes. The tour can be set to run automatically by rotating each node completely before moving to the next, or with a mouse or “glove” and moving around the node manually.by the user.
Basic VR Tours are the simplest simple 360o spherical visualizations that showcase, anything conceivable. Unlike 2-dimensional images, VR Tours provide a more intense visual experience and the user is in control.

Visitor Control
Let the visitor take the wheel and control their visual experience. It will go a long way in helping them make informed choices during their visit.
It’s all about building trust. Show them your business, your listing, shop, restaurant, or hotel/motel rooms. Let them see the whole scene with an interactive panorama. There’s no downside.
A potential buyer, virtually interacting with a listing, can view the entire property without having to leave home or set up an appointment with the realtor. If he or she likes what they see, then set up your viewing with a motivated buyer.
Take action, take the first step. Set the pace ahead of the competition.
Realistic Visions
Often websites seem to be missing something and we can’t put a finger on it. If you step back for a moment and think about it, look at the images. Are they what you or the person you hired to build your site believe represents your brand?
VR Photography provides a 360o by 180o realistic view of your space. The space doesn’t matter; a small shop, restaurant, pub, hotel room, or real estate listing, the viewer sees everything. Bringing them into your environment from the comfort of their home or mobile device will be a unique experience.
Once they are in your space, give them the reins to move about, viewing what’s important to them. Now make it interactive. Not only can they move around your space, but they can also interact with it by adding elements and components on top of the panorama (a ‘skin’). Now make it a tour. Add multiple panoramas (nodes), to form a tour. Then sit back and let the tour do the work you used to do.
Try doing that with a two-dimensional photograph. Be realistic!
