Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between panoramic images and regular images?

By using panoramic images it’s possible to embrace a much wider horizontal angle than a regular photo can, which is similar to the average human (we humans have a 135 degree horizontal angle field of vision).
It makes it possible to represent an entire building, structure or object in an extended horizontal sense.

What are 360 degree panoramic images?

These are immersive photos that can be either printed or visualized on the internet/DVDs.
This can be done by using a browser or major plug-ins such as Flash or QuickTime.
360 degree panoramic images allow you to move virtually throughout a place, viewing it internally from every angle.
It’s almost as if you were rotating your virtual “head” in the photo, looking in any direction: left, right, up, down and you can even look behind you or rotate in a full circle. The zoom function allows you to view up close the smallest of details.

Can different types of images be created?

Yes, we can create many types of panoramic photos, based on different image resolution, size and quality.

How is a 360 degree image taken?

We can take spherical images (with a horizontal f.o.v. of 360° and a vertical f.o.v. of 180°) or cylindrical images (a 360° horizontally) usually suitable for outdoor panorama.

Can I include the photos in a DVD disc or other formats?

Yes, all of our images are designed to be inserted in various media such as CD-Rom, DVD or even to be sent via email.

How can you interact with a 360 degree photo?

Our 360 degree photos are very simple to navigate.
When you click on the photo (which is already in motion to show that it is not a traditional static image), hold the left button of your mouse and move it left, right, up and down.
By means of the navigation bar you can magnify or reduce the zoom.
n the Virtual Tour, there are some sensitive areas/points (called “hotspots”); by clicking on it, you can open the next photo for any additional information.

Why use a Virtual Tour in your business?

If your goal is to improve your business or raise awareness of your company, the solution is to bring your visitor into it.
Virtual Tour allows the visitor to feel as if they were inside your company, hotel, showroom, shop, etc.

What is a VR Object?

By using the same process involved in capturing a 360 degree panoramic photo, but in a different type of “immersion,” VR object is a technique that allows you to "virtualize" real objects and allows visitors to get a hands-on sensation.
You can observe it in the browser from all points of view, interacting with the mouse, zooming in the areas of interest and evaluating all the details (especially the ones hidden in a conventional static image)

I’ve already got a website. Can I insert panoramic photos in it?

Absolutely! Just enter a text link to open the pop up window with the virtual image (standard solution included in the cost of construction).
We also provide web design services for more complex pop-ups or for additional pages that must be coordinated with the existing site.

Does the server hosting my website need to have any particular technical characteristics for a panoramic photo?

Absolutely not, there is full compatibility with any type of server.

Do I need a powerful computer to see the images?

No, the minimum system requirements are a computer with 1 GHz Pentium ® 4 and at least 256Mb of Ram.

Do I need a high-speed internet connection?

No, a 360 degree Pano is loaded in few seconds using a standard ADSL internet connection.
Likewise, our images can also be inserted in various media such as a CD-Rom or DVD, thus not requiring any connection.
