KISS

If you think that you would like to do something a bit different by adding something new to your virtual tour like your pet dog as an avatar, well that is the kind of challenge I enjoy. If however you are on a limited budget or prefer a less complex presentation we can stick to the age old principal of “KISS” which, of course is “Keep it simple stupid.” Whatever kind of tour you want or even if you just want to discuss ideas, drop me a line in the contacts page.

Welcome to Jigjointer’s Immersive virtual tours

What’s “immersive”? Well, have a look through this house and you will see what I mean.

Benefits

Our tours are presented as a walkthrough tour where the user gets a real feeling of visiting the location. This is achieved by linking each panoramic image using a hotspot which can easily be seen and used by even the novice user. The benefit of such a tour is subtle but significant in that having walked through the environment the user feels that he has “been” there and if you have been somewhere, that to most people, means you know it. Let’s say you want to promote your business and you ask us to make a virtual tour. If everyone who visits your tour has a feeling that they now know your “place,” the next time they are passing they might very well pop in for a visit. Wouldn’t that be nice? Alternatively, you might be selling your house. What better way is there to enable people to take a guided tour of your property, without having to leave the comfort of their own home, than a virtual tour?

Not only an image tour

Unlike most other virtual tour designers, my speciality is not photography. What I aim to do is to give users the ultimate immersive experience using creative technology. My tours are presented using low pixel density in Flash Player making it fast to load. Each tour is created around an individual expression of the location using directional sound features and links which can bring in text, video or other files to enhance user awareness of the unique features of the location - simple things like if there is a street, we hear cars, if there is a yacht we hear the wind, a secretary we hear a keyboard and so on. Floor plans and other features can also be applied to give a variety of different information to the user. The tour can be deployed in a number different sizes and formats: Java, QuickTime, or Flash which is my preference.I don’t want to get too technical here so if you would like further explanation of the different players and forms of presentation, they can be found on the link, Presentation Formats.
