FAQ's
What is an immersive photograph?
A immersive photograph is a series of digital images that are stitched together to make a complete 360� panoramic image. This image is then displayed through a viewer window. The final 'virtual tour' slowly pans the entire 360� of the image, creating an immersive effect that makes the viewer feel like they are actually in each location! At any time, viewers can take control of their experience by clicking on an image and dragging it left or right, up or down.
How does it work?
Immersive VR images are produced by seamlessly 'stitching' a series of images together. Users do require the Adobe Flash plug-in to view the images but it is a free and easy download available from Adobe.com that works on both Windows PCs and Macintosh computers. These images 'stream' to the computer and are visible within a few seconds.
Why should virtual tours be used?
A recent study by Pew Internet shows that 51% of adult Internet users visited virtual tours of vacation locations, online.
How should Virtual Visit immersive imagery be used?
Immersive imagery/virtual tours should always be used to support text content about a subject.

Visual content such as virtual tours are an effective way to engage viewers, build their purchasing confidence, and establish customer loyalty.
