VIRTUAL TOUR FAQ's
What
are 360° Virtual Tour images and how are they createdVirtual Tour images give viewers the power to step inside the picture, looking up, down, and all around from floor to ceiling, earth to sky, in any direction. Viewers can completely immerse themselves in the particular environment. 360° images are created by capturing two opposing photographs, called "hemispheres," with a fisheye lens. 360° images can then be linked together, linked to traditional photographs and renderings, enhanced with audio or other file types, or incorporated into other development environments.
How
does the whole Virtual Tour image process work? Our network of photographers can capture Virtual Tours at any location, worldwide. The source photography is then processed at our centralised studio ensuring a speedy turnaround at competitive prices. When a Virtual Tour is completed we post the images online, accessible from our secure client area. Once proofed by the client, we make any required edits/amendments. Finally we deliver the Virtual Tour images. Immersive Media offers a range of deployment methods from supplying you with Virtual Tours and working with you to ensure the images integrate smoothly and effectively into your Website, through to hosting the Virtual Tour on our servers and supplying you with a simple URL to be added to your website.
