Virtual Tours of "Actual" Locations

There are two questions that apply in most cases.

Could you sell more if you could show customers or influencers around your premises?

Could you save them, or you, time (and money) by either allowing them to look around "virtually" or showing them around yourself on a video call?

In our experience these include: manufacturing, accommodation (hotels, B&Bs etc.), hospitality suites, sports facilities, camping/caravan parks, schools/campuses.

Virtual Tours of "Virtual" Locations

A new category where we can use a (often modular) virtual space to create interactive exhibitions, training environments etc.

Virtual Records & Archives

Use the same technlogy to create time-shift records of change (before/after) or use one space for multiple themed exhibits: why not put those hidden archives on 24/7/365 display.

1. Telephone Chat Q & A

Give us a call and think about what questions you'd like answered. We'll be clear & honest.

2. Your Brief

A bit about what you do and what you'd like to communicate. Any floor-plans or photos could help. Think about how you “show visitors around” (or would like to)

3. Outline Quote/s

We can then verbally give you some options and pricing indications. Based on what you are then interested in we will provide an email quote.

4. Photography

At a convenient time (for externals weather dependent). Please have it ready at the scheduled time: remember 360 imager, because of its coverage, is used for recording crime scenes.

5. Imagery Generation

The complicated bit. We take the imagery and combine/edit different exposures (HDR) which are then stitched to create panoramic 360 images and are further edited and colour corrected.

6.Tour (Alpha)

We create a linked “tour” from the panoramas.

7. Detailed Content

Here we add your logo, text boxes, video, photo albums, hyperlinks etc.as agreed.

8. Tour (Beta)

We upload so you can review, give your feedback and we can agree the final format and “look”.

9. Adding to website etc.

We liaise with your webmaster how the tour can be linked within your website.

10. Hosting

Dependent on your choice either you can host or we can arrange for you for a small annual fee.

11. Launch

We provide graphics and versions of panoramas coded for use in Facebook and on goggle business pages.

Interactive vs. passive

We all know video can attract attention but without a great script and intriguing story interest quickly wanes.

Even great corporate videos are essentially scripted (and by nature then fixed) with what we think our customers want to know (or what we want them to see....)

A Professional Interactive Tour is more like a self drive journey where I can find the information I want, at the pace I want to follow.

For that reason they can be far more "sticky" and involving.

Yes, because we code and script our tours using exactly the same languages (html, php, javascript) as a web developer, we can incorporate in your tour all the same media as you can use on a website.

But importantly they can be wedded to the complete virtual tour "experience" as selectable and subliminal parts of a journey.

There are a number of ways that a tour (and entry points to different areas) can be incorporated in your website. We can advise and if you prefer laise directly with your webmaster.

Links to the virtual tours and individual panoramas can be included in social media posts. We can also help in producing eyecatching banners formatted for Facebook, Twitter etc.

We can offer Matterport tours but due to some specifc technical, user experience and legal restrictions we only recommend their use in very particular situations (where a 3D model is key to the presentation).

We are very experienced in this area and apart from adding panoramas (or complete tours) to your Google Business Listing we can also add some Street view type imagery.

We have a simple menu of pricing we will provide with a quotation, sufficient to say in most cases it is a "pleasant surprise".

Because we code our own tours we can offer a modular development approach and the same goes for upgrades as you improve your facilities.

We intentionally exceed any legal or insurance requirements. We prefer to think creatively rather than take unnecessary risks.
