Guide Review - VisualTour.com - Virtual Tour Software Provider
An exciting aspect of Visual Tour's software is its user-friendliness. It was a snap to learn straight out of the box, but when I had questions the answers were easy to find in online FAQs, or given quickly by staff.
To create a panorama, each shot overlaps the previous photo by a small amount. Visual Tour aligns the images and stitches them together, automatically cropping and blending jagged portions that don't match.
Tours can include everything from a single photo to 360-degree panoramic views -- a flexibility that's a real plus.
