Making a Virtual Tour
Are you impressed? Want to know how a Virtual Tour is created? Well, its a "big secret" of course, but I will tell you anyway. :)
A high end Digital SLR camera is used with a specialized fisheye lens (not just any fisheye lens will do). A series of images are then shot in a full 360 degree circle. These images are then stitched, and optimized in post production using advanced HDR techniques.

(note: This is a very simplified example for demonstration purposes only)
Finally, the image is combined with a player (we prefer Flash, find out why) which makes the panoramic image interactive, allowing the user to click and drag on the screen to look around in all directions, a full 360 degree spin.
Here is the final product, in the Flash player. This virtual tour has been compressed for fast loading even over slow internet connections.
Click on the image and drag your mouse to look around. Click full screen for best effect.
Easy as that! Getting this to actually work in practice is, however, not quite that simple. It has taken years of research, development and practice to perfect this technique, along with using HDR techniques, and the latest player technology, to create the beautifully realistic Virtual Tours that we are now very proud to deliver to our clients.
