Happy 360° virtual tours New Year

Posted on 11, Jan

Some of the early 360° virtual tours were poor in quality mainly due to the technology that could be used at the time, since digital photography has got better and better over the years so has the quality of virtual tours photography.

Now with even Google jumping on the bandwagon with the amazing product Streetview, things are only set to get better. And even more recently one of the coolest things I’ve seen in 2010 was the video virtual tours which are virtual tours that of 360° of live events give you interactive control over the video, you have to see it to believe it.

Wishing you all a happy New Year and looking forward to fruitful and technologically advanced 2011.
