Makes you want to jump on a plane and check the place out! (unless you can drive of course)

This feature is very useful when sites feature a small pano preview then can automatically load higher resolutions when the viewer goes fullscreen.

All we need now is a great GUI.

This site was created by www.onlinemarketingagency using krpano

“It takes you fullscreen (click on “VOLLBILD”) into the main set of the movie where all flash-content is placed on hotspots. It even features a riddle/search game to unlock a room with bonus-material (by finding 5 parts of a magic scroll). Besides navigating within the panorama the user may also use a conventional flash-menu. All panoramas were done in multi-resolution mainly to reduce loading-time. Even if the source photos we have been provided with have been quite low-res (just compressed jpg´s with no floors/ceilings photographed so that the resulting stitches could only become 14000 px wide), I think it´s a nice example of integrating panoramas within a moviesite.”
I hope to showcase more of their work soon :)

This is nice and simple – the graphics are downplayed and I personally prefer the larger hotspots compared to other VR tours.

It looks slightly HDR – this often ruins old buildings, but I think this is subtly done.

One cool feature is the Day and night options. Shame it makes you view it fullscreen – I don`t like being made to do anything :)

One goal I’m sure that we all have is “one day I’ll create a perfect virtual tour 200 metres in the air”

Most of us will never realize this unfortunately, either lack of time, money, or the fact that buying a remote helicopter for a business seems just wrong! The guilt!

Anyway – here is a company that are doing it just right! And there is even a video of them doing it.

For a long time I have thought that when a virtual tour can stand on its own as an interactive website, then it is this aspect alone that will increase the popularity of virtual tours and panoramas. This tour stands up on its own, it doesn’t need more information.

The music defiantly adds to the ambiance of the subject and the Googlemap api (although a little hidden) is great. This is a true example that today – panoramas alone are not enough.

I did find the navigation a little strange and couldn`t understand why the next pano was loading at times, but the photography is great.
