Virtual Tour software?
Posted: 5 Oct 2004 at 0:04 GMT
I am starting a Virtual Tour business, where I will be taking and stitching Virtual Tour packages for B&B, Hotels, Real Estate, etc. I will then be placing the finished Virtual Tour packages onto my website to be hosted. I have done quite a bit of research on the software and it seems that 3dvista is the only product that gives you the full range from stitching, publishing and getting the Virtual Tour ready to be linked to a website. Is there any better options? I do not want spherical Virtual Tours, just ones that are about 20mm wide angle. Before I go forth and buy the 3dvista package for $449.00 U.S. is there any other options I should try out? Please advise me to my options I may be missing. Thank you, Eric.

Have you looked at PanoRama factory? It does fast and accurate stitching, plus virtual tours.

PS - It's under $100

Hi there,

Stay away from Photovista Virtual Tour!

Although Photovista Panorama is great for doing the stitching(they have a 30 day free trial) I am having nothing but problems with the other portions of the tour package.

This would not be so bad if Photovista had good manuals and online help but I am finding them to be greatly lacking in these departments.

If you are a computer guru you will probably be able to figure things out but, if you are like me then be prepared to get frustrated.
