BENEFITS
360° Panoramic Photographs and high quality Virtual Tours can ideally be placed in communication projects and/or Internet promotions. How can your business benefit?
Inserting 360° Photographs and Virtual Tours will give your website a clear advantage over the other competitors that are using a more traditional style.
Compared to the many static photographs – although well made – in your competitors’ websites, the 360° Images will immediately capture the visitors’ attention and make sure that your message makes a greater impression than the others!
360° Photographs and Virtual Tours will allow the visitor to see the environment, the service or the product at its best. The clearness and completeness of the way you communicate will be appreciated. A point in your favor.
The observer of a 360° Photograph or Virtual Tour is fully involved in the virtual exploration of the situation that is in the image. He/she won’t start zapping, but will stop and take the time to study your proposal in depth.
Panoramic 360° Photographs are as close as possible to “being there”. That’s why they are also called Virtual Reality. It will be like having the potential clients in your showroom.
Unlike professional films and nearer to what is required for a professional image, the creation of 360 degree photographs and Virtual Tours aren’t so costly and therefore will optimize your investment.
