Do Virtual Tours “Spin”?

November 17, 2015 By Carolwood Productions

Ahh… the venerable Virtual Tour. Are they still a viable media tool for advertising, real estate, and venue highlights; or have they been supplanted by video marketing products?

I’m not talking about the “pseudo” tours out there that take individual stills, pan and scan them, maybe add music, and voila; here is your “virtual tour”! I’m talking about the real McCoy, genuine article, 360-degree spin tours.

Clients will sometimes specifically request a real-deal, 360 tour for their projects

Nowadays, they seem to be deployed more selectively. After all, they are more labor-intensive to shoot, process, and post. They require 12 separate exposures (or more), special pan-heads for the camera, specific software expertise in the “stitching” of the images, and also dedicated tour servers for online distribution. It is possible to do a certain level of in-camera panoramic images (panos), with some cameras; but these are generally not considered “pro” level VTs, and are much more commonly utilized during vacation activities, for example.

Clients will sometimes specifically request a real-deal, 360 tour for their projects, and we are happy to have the training, the aforementioned expertise, and the specialized gear to fulfill the request. There is nothing like a true Virtual Tour. The immersive experience and sheer eyeball-holding power of these immersive images are certainly captivating. Plus, they can certainly be a powerful part of an overall marketing strategy for specific properties, allowing prospective lodging guests and buyers to “step in” to the beautiful spaces that are highlighted within the “spins”.

It seems that most campaigns utilizing these tours offer them as part of a larger strategy which includes stills, and also video marketing media. Either way, they are just a small part of the wide array of media content creation that Carolwood Productions offers.

Here is a sampler of true Virtual Tour “spins” highlighting various settings, ranging from real estate, interiors, and exteriors.

There are so many wonderful and unusual places to hike. Quiet canyons; cool, green stream sides, dramatic hilltops. A series of interconnected trails was recently highlighted in the City of Diamond Bar via an unusual method. We shot a series of Virtual, 360 degree tours for the city. These allow residents and visitors to explore the series of nature trail via the web in an immersive and compelling fashion.

A series of 27 Panoramic Virtual Tours were shot, stitched and compiled for the project. Each tour consists of 12 individual angles which are then used to create the seamless, virtual-reality world for beautiful viewing spots along the trails. These were then linked via an interactive graphic map with “hotspots”, which allows the user to jump to one of six individual trails within the city.

The tour is set up to be self-running, and viewers are encouraged to go “Full Screen” on their monitors for the most dramatic experience.

Please use this link to be transported to the site; and do a little “arm chair exploring” of these beautiful trails yourself!
