Advanced Features

Multi resolution panorama:

When a particular zoom level is reached, a high resolution panorama will load showing higher detail instead of a pixilated image.

Floor plan:

A floor plan whose main use is to display and load all the rooms that make up in the virtual tour. A thumbnail or text is displayed on mouse over. If more than 5 rooms are included this will be free.

Google map:

This can be used to navigate through the virtual tour and load different locations. It will appear as part of the virtual tour’s interface and can be hidden using a button.

Auto tour:

A driven virtual tour where all the rooms are shown and loaded automatically one after another. This is a good method of presenting the virtual tour as a DVD or video file.

Background audio:

A piece of audio can be added as a background sound to add more realism

Radar:

This feature is suitable for floor plans or Google map. It shows the viewer which way they are facing, as well as the field of view angle.

Thumbnail image gallery:

Perfect to show a group of still shots within the virtual tour. This gallery can be shown and hidden using a button.

Embed Flash or video files:

A flash file or a video can be shown when a button is clicked.

Compass:

An image representing a compass shows which cardinal point the user is looking at. This is ideal for outdoor virtual tours.

Lens flare:

A flare effect which simulates a realistic lens flare from looking into a bright light source like the sun or a spot light.

Hotspots:

Several functions can be achieved: load another room, load an audio file, show an information box with an image, text or both.

Still Photography:

This is the cost per still image or location you request. You need to determine which locations need photographing; we will take a series of images and choose the best. If the still photograph will be used as a hotspot, there is no additional charge for a hotspot.
