What is Panorama?

If a picture is worth a thousand words then a Panoramic Virtual Tour，where you can look all around，must be worth ten thousand.

Pan­or­amic pho­to­graphy refers to the art of cap­tur­ing and cre­at­ing pan­or­a­mas. A pan­or­amic im­age by “stitch­ing” sev­er­al ad­ja­cent pic­tures to­geth­er in­to a single, wide view, and can capture as wide a field of view as possible, all the way to 360° ho­ri­zont­ally and 180° ver­tic­ally. This means that from a giv­en point in space every pos­sible angle and view is covered.

A pan­or­amic im­age can either be viewed like a tra­di­tion­al pho­to­graph, but it is a much more im­mers­ive and ex­cit­ing ex­per­i­ence to watch the im­age with an in­ter­act­ive view­er, giv­ing the ob­serv­er full con­trol over which part and per­spect­ive of the im­age he wants to see.The pan­or­amic view­er gives a much stronger feel­ing of pres­ence than a tra­di­tion­al photo.

To in­ter­act with a pan­or­amic view­er, click and drag your mouse in the view­er win­dow. You can also zoom in and zoom out as you like.

Sev­er­al pan­or­a­mas can eas­ily be joined to­geth­er to form a “vir­tu­al tour”. For in­stance, you can look around in one room, then click on the (spe­cially high­lighted) door­way to move on to the next room, or click on a win­dow to see an out­side view of the place. This gives the view­er the il­lu­sion of walk­ing around the place at their own leis­ure.

Vir­tu­al tours are an ideal pro­mo­tion­al tool for ho­tels, spas, re­cre­ation cen­ters, parks etc. as they al­low po­ten­tial vis­it­ors to have a look around the place be­fore they book, giv­ing them con­fid­ence and as­sur­ance of the qual­ity of the es­tab­lish­ment.Through this tour, customers will know more about the product with the help of a click.

Virtual tour can increase sales of clients business. For example, before visiting a restaurant many people would want to know more about the place, type of food served and its ambience in advance.
