Our Process
Quote
You let us know what you want done through any of our several channels of communications. We let you know how we can make it happen and how much it will cost.
Order
You confirm the details of your order with us or make changes to it until you are completely satisfied.
Schedule
We schedule your photo shoot(s). Your convenience is our priority, however, certain times may work better than others to ensure optimal lighting and staging. It typically takes about an hour to shoot the 360° Panoramas that make up one 360° Virtual Tour.
Photo Shoot
We expertly shoot your 360° Panoramas using dedicated high-quality purpose-built fisheye lenses and panoramic tripod heads with Nikon cameras from the perspectives of your choosing. While we can edit/Photoshop out many undesired objects in a scene, it is best for you to stage each scene exactly as you want it to be shown prior to the start of the shoot.
Review
When possible, both during and after the photo shoot, we review each 360° Virtual Tour scene with you to determine which tour elements you would like placed where. We also collect from you any captions, narrations, maps, floorplans, or extra images that you wish to include in the tour.
Photo Edit
We edit/Photoshop the images from your photo shoot to ensure that they look great. Optionally, we can remove or blur out most undesired elements from the images.
Panorama Stitch
Using powerful, top-of-the-line computer hardware and software and an expert touch, we carefully stitch together the images taken in your photo shoot to create your 360° Panoramas free of the unsightly stitching errors typical of lesser products.
Virtual Tour Creation
We use specially licensed, state-of-the-art tools to combine your 360° Panoramas into a 360° Virtual Tour that looks and performs beyond all expectations. We manually add hotspots, captions, narrations, extra images, web links, and even custom-drawn tour navigation maps or floorplans to make your virtual tour truly special. We can even change the look of the buttons and interface to better match your website.
Upload
Upon completion, we upload your Panographica 360° Virtual Tour to its own folder and page on our web server, where it can be accessed and viewed via a provided link. You will also be provided with instructions on how to embed the virtual tour in your own website, as seen on our own website. Upon request, we can directly modify your website to display your virtual tour.
Payment
We have flexible payment options and accept all major credit cards. We provide discounts for bulk orders and return customers.
