One Shot Virtual Tour and Panoramic Photography Solutions!
At Pixel8 VT (Virtual Tours), as part of our ongoing desire to be the definitive virtual tour and multimedia service provider we provide a unique virtual tour service. The new advances in virtual tour technology, and the advent of broadband means that we can produce virtual tours in a much shorter time frame with much better quality than before! We take care of the 360 degree virtual tour process from concept to completion and our virtual tours have many applications once the 360 degree photography has been taken.

We use the latest in 360 degree virtual tour lens technology to shoot a full 360 degree image in just one shot. Other companies often take multiple shots and stitch them together to produce virtual tours which requires more photography time and a greater amount of post-photography processing which ultimately means more expensive virtual tours and poorer virtual tour quality. In the worst case you can see where companies have "stitched" the shots together. Below are some of the uses of 360 degree virtual tour photography:
multimedia Virtual Tours For Hotels and Conference Venues
Virtual tours really come in handy when you want to let potential exhibitors see your venue who may be rather distant and unable to travel the distance just to have a look at what you have to offer. One example of this was The Lowry Theatre and Gallery in Salford Quays, Manchester UK. The virtual tour 360 degree photography was used in their multimedia cdrom presenter which was sent out to potential clients to advertise their facilities. Using our in-house multimedia skills meant that the tours were also well presented and got rave reviews.

multimedia 360 Degree one shot photography for print
As you can see from the example above, 360 degree panoramic photography is the only option if you want to show off your entire venue in one shot. The 360 degree photos are taken using professional high-resolution cameras giving great panoramic results which look great in corporate brochures, flyers and other advertising literature. The camera we use is so good that the 360 degree panoramas are of quality high enough to be blown up as posters. One great example was the shot taken on the centre circle for Bolton Wanderers Football Club which showed the entire pitch from the centre - all in one panoramic photo!

Virtual Tours for Estate Agents and Holiday Venues
The beauty of 360 degree virtual tours is that they completely immerse the user in the area that the shot was taken, making it feel like they are actually there. One major use for this type of virtual tour is for travel agent web sites where potential customers can see what the resort is like before booking from the comfort of their home or office and because the virtual tour is a full 360 degree image there are no blind spots and the camera truelly never lies. The software for viewing the virtual tours is already available on the majority of operating systems and warps the moving image to give a great sense of perspective.
