On the left side of this page are sample thumbnail panorama images created for one of our clients - Leeward Lodging in Bayfield, Wisconsin. These panoramas can be presented in a variety of ways to best suit the clients needs. Some viewing options include:
Java
viewer linked to an interactive map: The Java viewer allows nearly
universal veiwership. By including an interactive map along with the viewer,
the site visitor can see the direction they are looking. In addition,
the visitor can move to a new vantage point simply by clicking on a new
point of interest on the map. No plug-in is needed to view these panoramas.
The necessary Java program is downloaded along with the first panorama.
Other nice features of this option is that the remaining panoramas are
downloaded in the background while the visitor is looking at the first
panorama. Thus, when the visitor clicks on a new scene, the scene is quickly
loaded into the viewer's web page without waiting for the new scene to
download.
Java
viewer with a scene names: This option shows how the tour can
be presented with descriptive names in a table format. For this option
we included an interesting feature where the visitor is taken on a "flight"
through the panorama. The view starts out looking down from far above,
zooms towards the floor, then moves up to horizontal and finally around
through the room. Visitors move from scene to scene by clicking on the
room names.
Java viewer single page
site: This option shows how an entire site can be presented on
a single page. The tour is basically the same as the one directly above
but also includes still photographs and contact information for the site.
Quicktime
linked tour: One advantage of using the Quicktime viewer is that
the scenes can be linked together within the panorama so that you can
move from scene to scene simply by clicking on a hot-spot such as a doorway
in the scene. You know you are on a link to a new scene (a "hot-spot")
when the cursor changes to a globe with a finger pointing on it. To view
these scenes you need Quicktime version 5 or later. Quicktime 5 and later
allows you to look straight up and down. Previous versions of Quicktime
only allowed you to look full circle.
You can download the latest version of Quicktime here.
