Embedded Panoramic Images

We've been experimenting with panoramic (360 degree) images and we've found a quick and inexpensive way to create them. The next issue has been how best to make these accessible on the web. We've come up with three solutions.

The first idea is the simplest. We've put a very long image in an iframe. Use the slider at the bottom of the image to look around.


The next idea takes the image and adds a bit of Flash magic. Click inside the image and move your mouse left and right to turn around. Observe that this is now a true 360 degree view:


The third presentation concept involves embedding the panoramas directly into the marketing drawings. If you have an up-to-date version of Acrobat, you can click on the images of the space and pan around - right in the drawing itself! Click on the image to open the PDF file.

Simple panoramas are a very cost effective way to provide a clear impression of what a space is like. It's a great addition to a marketing toolkit!
