Another New Client for 2014!

360imagery virtual tour of the Claret for Spitfire

This year has certainly been very busy for 360imagery with new clients - just check out the client page on our website to see some of the big names we've been working with recently. We're really proud - it shows we're getting it right!

No matter how big or small the commission, or client, we never cut corners to produce even the most straightforward of 360 virtual tours. We carry out all of the work ourselves from the initial photography shoot, to the stunning end result (no 3rd party photographers or graphic designers). All photos are shot in high definition using high dynamic range technique, with professional Canon cameras and lenses. We bespoke design every element of a virtual tour and prides ourselves on the quality of the end result. See for yourselves by checking out the portfolio page of our website.

A good virtual tour can be a very cost effective marketing tool, really bringing a website alive in promoting any given location/venue/building etc. We keep the pricing of our work as simple as possible - one quote that includes all travel expenses within England and Wales. No hidden costs or extras. Another reason why we are one of the most trusted virtual tour providers in the UK.

The virtual tour in this post is quite a typical commission for us. The client, Spitfire, are passionate about design and quality of construction of their bespoke residential dwellings. They obviously wanted a tour that reflected this quality, showcasing the homes at their very best. That's why they came to 360imagery! To view the full tour either click here, or on the post image above.

Spitfire build luxury, stunning and individually designed houses. This show home is a 6 bedroom, 3-storey building known as the Claret. This was a fairly big job for us with the tour comprising 21 scenes, with navigation arrows to guide the viewer around the house, thumbnails and floor plans with interactive scene markers.

We have a wealth of experience and ideas to help you in creating a stunning tour. Call for a chat on 0845 8726442 or visit our website www.360imagery.co.uk.

Stunning 360imagery Virtual Tour of 3 More Riverside, London

 360imagery virtual tour of 3 More Riverside, London for St. Martins Property Corporation

Here at 360imagery we love commercial property!! Since 2006 we have created tours of just about anything you can imagine, check out our portfolio page to see what we mean; helicopters, zoos, cars, aquariums, gyms......the list goes on! However, our background and 10+ years experience as Chartered Surveyors means that we can't help but get excited about the commercial property commissions, especially when we are talking about buildings/locations as stunning as 3 More Riverside in London.

To view this tour either click here, or on the post image above.

360imagery is recognised as the leading provider of bespoke 360 virtual tours in the commercial sector. You can see from the quality of the photography why we’re trusted by some of the largest commercial property developers and asset management companies in the UK – with clients including British Land, Goodman, Greater London Authority, M&G Real Estate, Aviva Investors and Scottish Widows all using 360imagery to produce virtual tours for their marketing needs.

We begin this tour with two exterior 360 scenes of the Piazza (More London Place). These were both shot using our in-house developed low-level mast set up. Not only does this give an impressive 'wow' factor opening scene, it also positions Building 3 in context within the office park and more importantly gets the viewers eye above all the many heads of tourists!!

This virtual tour comprises 11 scenes stitched together enabling the viewer to go on a virtual walk around the building, and in this case highlighting the empty 2nd floor space currently being marketed. The tour is navigated by floating arrows, thumbnails and interactive floor plans, all of which are standard in a 360imagery piece of work.

360imagery are one of the leading virtual tour companies in the UK. Whatever your virtual tour requirements may be, we have the experience and know-how to create something quite special. We'd love to hear from you and chat about thoughts you may have for your own project - just give us a call on 0845 8726442 or visit our website www.360imagery.co.uk.

360imagery creating tours for the Mayor of London!

360imagery virtual tour of London Sustainable Industries Park

If you've been following our Blog this year you will have seen that we have been getting some really big names added to our client (and repeat client!) list. Just check out the Client Page of our website. We take a lot of pride in all of our work and so it's a real pat on the back to be working with some really prestigious clients. It clearly shows we're doing something right!

We were very excited to be approached by Greater London Authority to create a 360imagery virtual tour of one of their new green business parks; London Sustainable Industries Park. The client chose 360imagery based on the quality of our bespoke tours, our background as Chartered Surveyors and the fact that we have a wealth of experience. In over 7 years of trading, we have created in the region of 1,000 commissioned 360 virtual tours! Take a look at some of the work we have undertaken on our Portfolio Page.

This tour comprises 8 scenes, all photographed from 8 metres, using a technique we devised in-house. We are one of the few virtual tour companies that specialise in this - clients love it as it gives a real wow factor to the scene, lifting the viewer right above any street furniture etc.

Check out the completed tour by either clicking here, or on the post image above.

As we bespoke design every element of a project, we can incorporate just about anything the client asks for - in this case the tour uses overlays within the scenes to highlight which plots are still available, markers identifying which occupiers have signed up to take plots, an interactive site plan as well as markers within the different scenes to navigate around.

Another Prestigious New Client for 360imagery in 2014!

360imagery are very excited to be working with, and creating virtual tours for, Land Securities, another prestigious new client for us in 2014. Land Securities Group plc is the largest commercial property company in the UK and the leading British property development and investment company, based in London.

Land Securities owns and manages more than 29 million sq ft of commercial property, ranging from office and high street shops to huge shopping centres and out-of-town retail parks. As at March 2013 the property portfolio was valued at over £9 billion.

With such an impressive portfolio, Land Securities wanted only the best 360 virtual tour from the leading provider of bespoke work, and with our many years experience in this field combined with our background as Chartered Surveyors, 360imagery were the perfect choice! Just take a look at the Clients page on our website to see some of the big names we've now worked with.

 360imagery virtual tour of Trinity Leeds, Leeds

Our brief was to create a virtual tour of the major new shopping centre in Leeds, Trinity Leeds. The opening of this huge scheme in March 2013 marked the beginning of the next generation of shopping centres, being the most digitally-enabled retail and leisure destination in the UK. Land Securities recognised the benefits of a 360imagery virtual tour to market to its full potential the UK's best shopping destination of the North.

We created a highly interactive tour navigated by both thumbnails and floating hot-spot arrows, allowing you to take a 'virtual walk' around the centre. There is also an interactive floor plan with hot spot markers. As all of our work is undertaken in-house, from initial photography to end product, we can bespoke design our work to incorporate anything the client desires. The Graphic User Interface is all designed around the corporate identity, colours and logos to blend seamlessly into their existing website. Land Securities incorporated our tour into the homepage of their website as a thumbnail hyperlink.

As with all of our work we use HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography techniques, the tour is optimised to run full screen in high definition whilst downloading seamlessly, and it is published in Flash, HTML5 and CS3 for viewing on all current platforms.
  
Watch this space, as there are plans for 2014 to roll out tours to 15 other UK shopping centres.

One of our most ambitious projects to date....!

At 360imagery we just love it when we get asked to do something really different, and especially if it's a little challenging! As one of the leading suppliers in the UK of bespoke 360 virtual tours we have quite a collection of unusual tours on our portfolio page, ranging from inside helicopters to off the top of big wheels.

We were recently asked to combine a 360-degree view of inside each car in the Vauxhall range with the ability to take a 360-degree walk around the outside too - all brought together to create one easy-to-use virtual tour. Clever stuff and definitely one of our most ambitious projects to date.

To give you an idea of the scale of the project it involved taking over 4,000 photographs over 2 days of shooting, not an easy task cramped inside a car. Then followed hours and hours of 'the clever bit' back at the office to create the end result. It really tested our virtual tour and programming metal, but I'm sure you'll agree the end result is stunning, and highly effective. Here's one of the final tours, this one of the Vauxhall Grand Zafira - view by either clicking here or on the post image below:

360 virtual tour of the Vauxhall Grand Zafira

We were asked to create 14 tours in total - one for each car in the Vauxhall range. Each complete tour is made up of 250 individual photographs, shot in RAW format and using High Dynamic Range photography techniques. In total this comprised a whopping 100 gigabytes of photos! There really was no room for error - the slightest movement of our panoramic camera set-up would have resulted in a misaligned virtual tour scene. As with all our work, note that we also removed all of our camera gear, tripod, and shadows out of each scene.

 

The client wanted a 360-degree view of both the inside of each car combined with the ability to take a 360-degree walk around the outside too - all combined into one easy-to-use virtual tour. So next came the clever part, combining these two separate views together with an intuitive and interactive Graphic User Interface (GUI), all based around the clients logo and colour sway. The GUI we designed also incorporates social media channel buttons, news and a latest offers drop down menu. We were also asked to incorporate 'pop up' still images of the boot spaces of the cars, and 'pop out' YouTube video content of each car.

The project included creating a tour for a classic 1977 Vauxhall Viva in retro 'Amber Gold' that Perry's auctioned off on eBay in January 2014 for charity - raising a whopping £7189! Check out this tour by clicking here, or on the image below:

All of our work is published in Flash and HTML5 to work on PCs, Apple handheld devices & the majority of Android devices.

All of our work is designed to the exact brief of the client and because we do every element ourselves, we can incorporate just about anything you want into a tour.

360imagery virtual tours for Pricewaterhouse Coopers

 360imagery virtual tour of Tiger Court

2013 was a busy year for 360imagery.....another new client that we were delighted to be working with was PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).  PwC is the world's second largest professional services firm with offices in 776 cities across 159 countries with revenues, in 2012, of $14.9 billion.

The client wanted to run a competition to link their office park in Liverpool, Tiger Court, with the proximity of Knowsley Safari Park,  – so devised a ‘find the tiger’ campaign. They came up with the original idea of using life-sized stuffed tigers throughout the tour, to encourage viewers to take a thorough walk about the buildings in their hunt for the animals! As part of their marketing campaign the virtual tour was then emailed to all Chartered Surveyors in the North West region, receiving a fantastic response. The prize up for grabs to the lucky winner who spotted all the hidden tigers was a year long free pass to the nearby Safari Park. Check out the tour by either clicking on the image above, or here - and remember to look out for tigers! (The number of hidden tigers is at the bottom of this post, in case you fancy a go).

The virtual tour is composed of 6 scenes, 2 of which are our trade-mark aerial mast panoramas taken from 8 metres. This uses a special technique we developed in house, and it is perfect for giving that wow factor opening shot to a tour. The viewer is guided by navigational arrows within the scenes, or by clicking on the 'next' & 'back' buttons to view each scene. There is also an interactive site plan.

PwC were delighted with our work and the boost a 360imagery virtual tour gave to their marketing campaign - and we are very pleased to say that we have since been commissioned again by PwC to create more bespoke tours. So watch this space....

This work is a great example of how bespoke we are - we design every element in house and love to be asked to do something a little bit different - who wouldn't want to spend their day with a life-sized stuffed animal?!
