Welcome
Welcome to the newest and most exciting Virtual Tour technology for business, Real Estate or any organization or individual wanting to have the experience of being right in the middle of any location!
VirtualTbay is a new way to see any location that can be taken with digital photography. It's like you are right in the middle of it all with total control as to how to experience it with full zoom, pan and "Hotspot" functionality...
The most immersive panorama experience is achieved using full 360' x 180' spherical panoramas. Spherical panoramas are also known as Quicktime VR's. In a spherical panorama, viewing is possible in both the horizontal and vertical axis. Cylindrical panoramas, which can only be viewed in the horizontal axis, are typically found on the internet. They often lead to a tensed feeling of limited space. Spherical panoramas give the impression of actually standing at the location the panorama was created.
Spherical panoramas are created from several wide angle photos shot at the same view point. They are then "stitched" together to form a single seamless image that covers the entire 360' x 180' field of view. Special software such as Quicktime VR, Java and Flash is used to allow interactive viewing of the spherical panoramas. Virtualtbay uses the latest Flash and Flex technology to present spherical panoramas on the web.
Virtual Tours provide a fully immersive interactive experience of any location. They are created from several panoramas that are connected by links within the panorama.
Imagine viewing a panorama of a kitchen, as you move around the panorama you see the living room entrance. Clicking on the "hot spot" or link to the living room will load another panorama of the living room. Additional content such as pictures, text and web pages can be accessed from hotspots within the panorama.
We also don't restrict the size of the viewing window, all tours start with a fairly large window and you then have the ability to maximize the tour to encompass your entire computer screen to its full potential; this gives you a fully immersive experience - this is something that was previously unheard of before with virtual tours.
What's the point of having a large computer screen or HDTV if you can't use it?
We want you to experience the tour, not squint at it!
We can help integrate panoramas and virtual tours into your existing website, or if you don't have a website we can help you with that as well.
