The Time is Right for High-Resolution Full-Screen Interactive Images

Most businesses, institutions and households now have high speed access to the Internet, monitors are larger, computers are more powerful and everyone expects a multimedia and interactive experience on the web. Impress, involve and generate interest from your potential clients. Interactive 360° images, done right, will do exactly that!

Applications: Web, Multimedia, Video and Print

360° interactive images are most commonly seen on websites. However, they can also be inserted into on-screen sales presentations (PowerPoint®), downloadable PDF documents, or multimedia productions (delivered on CD/DVD). They can also be converted into classic timeline-based video (without interactivity). Creating interactive 360° images requires capturing multiple pictures of a scene and producing extremely high resolution panoramic images (up to 73 megapixels); these images can then be repurposed for print media such as brochures or wall-sized prints.

Flash Technology is the Best Technology to Display Interactive 360° Images

A number of formats are available for 360° interactive images, but none are as powerful and easy to implement than Flash technology. The free Adobe Flash Player software is currently the most widely distributed multimedia platform on the Internet. It allows customization and offers great visual quality and interaction, even inside PDF documents.

Immerse the Viewer a Real/Virtual Showroom

The purpose of this technology is to immerse the viewer in a scene... while sitting in front of a computer monitor or a big screen. This is a great way to get a prospective client to experience products or services that include or are used in some sort of environment. These include a hotel room, a museum exhibit, a retail showroom or display area, a vehicle's interior, a dentist's chair, an amusement park, a tourist attraction, a commercial or residential property, etc. Other applications can include employee training and product operation instructions for clients.

The Whole Scene, in ONE Image

A single photograph provides one angle or perspective of a scene. Multiple photographs can provide multiple points of view. However, if you want to provide an immersive experience (a feeling of being in the scene), a 360° interactive image is the answer. Better yet, a series of linked 360° images (also called a true "virtual tour") can really give the impression of being physically in a particular location. Adding ambient sounds or stereo-like sounds apparently emitted by something within a scene also adds to the realism.

Not Video, But Better in Many Ways

An interactive 360° image is not a video. It is interactive, it runs forward/backwards/up/down, it allows zooming-in and out, it is sharp even when full-screen, it pauses and then restarts automatically, it is easily customizable, it can be resized without recreating the file, it does not require a crew of people and weeks to produce, it does not require huge bandwidth, it downloads quickly... it is everything a video is not.

Real Images - Not Computer-Generated

360° VR images are faster and less costly to produce than synthetic images generated entirely in 3D software. The images are real because they are created from actual pictures of the location, they are not gimmicky or surreal. 3D images may require specialized plug-ins in order to be viewable.
