Frequently Asked Questions
Virtual tours
To book a tour please contact us and arrange a time and a place. We will also give you a quote. As some jobs will vary depending on size, conditions and location we may need to visit you before hand to go through the details more thoroughly.
Once you have booked a photographer will visit you. It will take
anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour do one or two single 360s. An
interactive tour will generally take between 1 and 2 hours for 4 - 10
rooms. This includes time to draw a floor plan.
Once post production is complete your tour can be online within 1-3 days of the photographs being taken.
Will I need to do anything before the photographer arrives?
Whatever is being photographed it is being photographed to
showcase your property, business or place of interest. It is important
that it is clean and tidy. If you are having a tour of your house made
you may want to declutter and depersonalise it.
Payment can be made to the photographer once the shots have been taken.
Other arrangements can be made but will need to be agreed at the time
of the booking.
Payments can be made in cash or cheques made out to 360fusion.
If weather conditions are not favourable and the client wishes for the
outside shots to be taken on another day then the client will need to
schedule another visit. 360fusion will count this as additional work
and provide the client with a quote for this additional work.
For tours that mainly consist of outdoor shots an appointment will have
to be arrange with a check up phone call on the morning of the day of
the shoot and may require to be rescheduled if the weather is not
acceptable.
The 360 degree movie isn't really a movie as such. To create it
a room is photographed using a digital camera on a tripod. The camera
is rotated 60 degrees after each shot. This will produce six horizontal
images which cover a 360° area. An up and a down shot can also be taken
to create a full spherical 360° by 360° movie.
These images will the be stitched together to create a big panoramic
image. This image will then be made into a 360° movie with software.
The viewing window only covers a part of the image and the larger
panoramic image can be moved around behind the window to create the
illusion of motion. All you are really doing is viewing a small section
of a large panoramic image.
To view the QTVR's you will need to have the Quicktime player
installed. If you have a QuickTime player and it doesn't work you may
need a more recent player. Please download it form here. Follow the instructions to install and you will be able to view the movie.
If you can't install QuickTime because you are at work and on a network
you may need to contact your IT department and arrange for a recent
player to be installed. If you are on a public computer contact the
network administrator.
No. You can have a full interactive tour made to be viewed on a CDROM. We provide business card size CDROMs that can be given out as promotional material as well as the standard size CDROM. All CDROMS come in a custom designed sleeve or jewel case.
