One Shot Virtual Tours and 360 DEGREE Panoramic
Photography Solutions!
At Pixel8 VT (Virtual Tours), as
part of our ongoing desire to be the definitive virtual tour
and multimedia service provider in the Northwest, we provide
a unique virtual
tour service. The new advances in virtual tour technology,
and our one shot 360 degree panoramic photography solution means that we can produce 360 degree panoramas and virtual
tours in a much shorter time frame with much better quality
than before. We take care of the 360 degree panoramic photography and 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: |
 LATEST VIRTUAL TOURS - SALFORD UNIVERSITY
We were pleased to win the contract to produce the 360 degree photography and virtual tours for the University of Salford. The virtual tours we produced were to demonstrate the vast array of spaces which they have available for research and development and teaching facilities. |

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.

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. The virtual tour is a full
360 degree image so there are no blind spots. 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.
