The spherical 3d panoramas and virtual tours

The spherical 3d panoramas and virtual tours, which use the 360°х180° panoramic projection and the interactive control, are the modern and effective form of space presentation. The viewing of the spherical 360 panoramas and virtual tours doesn’t require the high speed data transfer, which makes it possible to place and extensively advertise them on the Internet.

The 3d panorama (or 360 panorama, virtual panorama, spherical panorama, QTVR panorama, cubic panorama) is a special photograph, which covers all the space around one definite point for the angle of 360° horizontally and for the angle of 180° vertically.  The virtual 360 panorama assembles from several photographs, taken by the super-wide-angle lens and bands together with the help of special programs into one seamless image, which creates the impression of your presence in the centre of the 3D panorama.

With the help of the mouse or the keyboard you can view the space around, below and above you, draw nearer the things and objects or distance them, carefully examine the details or study the general concept. In contradistinction from the video, you’re not reliant on the camera movements, because the movement in space is completely under your control. The spherical 3D panorama can be supplemented with any kind of text, background sounds, pop-up pictures, videos, etc.

It’s very easy to control the 3D panorama. With the help of the left button you can rotate the image in the required direction (in order to do it simply click and hold). To draw the objects nearer or to distance them (zoom) it’s enough to give a twiddle to the wheel on your mouse.

Several spherical 3D panoramas can be banded together, and that’s exactly the way to make a virtual tour (also known as VR tour or 360 tour). By making one single click on the pointer in the 360 panorama you’re making a real journey, while moving from one panorama into another (for example, from one room into another) or even to the external web source. In order to give the visitors of the virtual tour a better orientation, the panorama can be supplemented with the interactive map with the “radar”, which shows the view direction and the viewing angle. The virtual tour is perfect for the building or interior showcase, for city and museum tours and more.

You don’t have to install any additional programs to have an ability to view the virtual panoramas and tours – having Internet-browser, like Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox with at least one installed plug-in - for example,  Flash, Quick Time, Java, DevalVR, Shockwawe etc., is enough (read more about the ways of viewing the spherical 3D panoramas). All of these applications can be downloaded for free on the Internet.

The spherical 3D panoramas can turn out to be useful in many spheres of life, – in the spheres, where the presence of visual presentation of the advertised object is important and crucial. The main benefits of the virtual 360 panoramas lie in the following:

• Space presentation in a natural way – unlike the small and flat photograph the 3D panorama and VR tour make an impression of your presence at the inspected place.
• Interactivity and the abundance of the visual information – during the time of the virtual 360 tour the visitor can independently examine and study the object, advertised by you, which is presented in the most favorable light and supplemented with your instructions and commentary.
• Originality and Attractiveness – present and advertise with the help of the method, which is not widely used by your opponents and which allows you to kindle your customer’s interest a lot more, than with the help of the ordinary photographs and text.
• The reduction of your expenses – the spherical 3D panoramas and virtual tours save not only your money, but, firstly, your time and the time of your customer.
• Twenty-four-hour availability – the important dignity of the panoramic 3D presentations, which are distributed with the help of the Internet, is the twenty-four-hour availability and the possibility for the Client to visit the object, advertised by you, at any time which he or she finds convenient.
