Panoramas are quite impressive when exhibiting areas that extend past
the limiting size of standard sized photographs. They are especially effective
for expressing spaciousness. There are generally two types of panoramic
photographs: full panoramas and partial panoramas.
A full panorama provides a complete 360° view of
an area. This type of panorama is most effective for exhibiting large
spaces that do not have major obstacles (like a wall or large post) near
the camera location. Good examples of areas that benefit from full panoramas
are auditoriums, residential and commercial exteriors, and showrooms.
A partial panorama provides less than a 360° view
of an area but more than the limiting area of a standard photograph. This
type of panorama is most effective for exhibiting large spaces that have
major obstacles (not of interest to the viewer) extremely close to the
camera location. Good examples of areas that benefit from partial panoramas
are a row of video games, a display case, and interiors that must be photographed
from a corner.
A virtual tour is the combination of full and/or partial
panoramas that are linked together by hotspots. Virtual tours give viewers
the ability to navigate from one area to the next by simply clicking on
the imbedded hotspots.
Ask Spherical Snapshots how we can customize your panoramas with features
like hotspots (that navigate viewers to other Web locations), auto-spin
(that automatically spin panorama), and identifiers (that draw attention
to specific areas).
