virtual tours

VRteam has just re-launched an informative website about virtual tour photographers and what they do specifically for hotels and resorts. The website is located at http://www.VirtualTourPhotographer.com.

Dear all,

For the second time, Kolor will be exhibiting at the Photokina fair in September. We will have quite a big booth this year, and we will be presenting:
- The new versions of Autopano Pro, Autopano Giga and Autopano Tour
- The Panogear motorized head
- An interactive touch screen showing Paris 26 Gigapixels

Some hardware partners will also be present on our booth to launch new panoramic hardware.

We will be in Hall 4.1, booth #F030.

Kolor will also be present at the IVRPA conference on Monday: a good occasion to share our different points of view and techniques about VR and gigapixel photography.

See you soon in Cologne!
Rami from Kolor team

PHOTOKINA DATES: 21-26 September, 2010
LOCATION: Cologne, Germany

I began shooting virtual tours with the 360 one shot lens. When i heard about the FC-E9, i purchased it and the coolpix 8400. Although these solutions were ok, they weren't great. I then purchased the Nikon d200 and became a big fan. Now i have two of them.

For lenses i have the Nikkor 10.5mm 2.8 lens. Recently i purchased the Sunex 5.6 for Nikon and have been working with both of them.

The VR Photography Revolution

I've created a central repository for plugins, tutorials & other knowledge about Flash Panorama Player, since the forum-style structure of the user contributed knowledge at FPP's forum is a little sketchy when you're looking for something in particular, and not really an efficient way to offer updates and support for plugins you've made.

Read more about it at http://flashpanos.com . Enjoy!

From middle of October, when Easypano sent out invitations to customers to gather suggestions and requirements for such realistic walkthrough effect virtual tours, Easypano programmers are working on the software development and hopefully the first beta version can be available in the next week - end of November.

A while back, I posted about a job down in Los Angeles... After 9 months or so, it looks like the photography/virtual tour is about to go live... Almost! :-)

While checking out the travel section of the sunday paper I saw a nice big ad
for Expedia, with the text: "360º Virtual Tours from Expedia...Check out your
hotel before you check in...The room, lobby -- even the pool. So you always know
exactly what you're getting..."

All I can say is: What took you so long??

I'd love to see some metrics on the importantce of V/T on the buying decision.
