Motion, sound, and a 360° view…
We all keep moving forward, so I’m not shooting static virtual tours anymore. My focus is on researching, testing, and writing about the latest interactive 360° panoramic video virtual tour technology. You can find the latest news and advice about equipment, players, software, and more on my 360 Blog.
