The play area for children has received a fantastic addition of painted artwork on the ground, and they have also installed an outdoor fitness gym.

Since I live in Staplehurst, I decided to pay a visit to the field last week and create a 360-degree Tour.

To begin with, I used a 360° camera to map out the entire area, with a specific focus on two main sections: the Children’s Play area and the Outdoor Gym.

Everything would have gone smoothly if not for my Golden Retriever, who insisted on being in every shot! Well, except when I was capturing images inside the Play Area! On the other side of the park, a family was having a picnic, and, as you might have guessed, she was over there helping them finish their meal! Fortunately, she left me alone to carry on with the task at hand.

The next step involved retouching and correcting the images (and Photo Shopping out a Golden Retriever! I’ve left a few in, see if you can spot her, it’s not hard!) before uploading them. Once uploaded, the 360° images (referred to as spheres in the trade) were aligned with each other. This alignment allows viewers on Google Maps to seamlessly “walk” from one image to another.

Step four was to wait for the images to interpolate onto Google Maps. Typically, this process takes a couple of days, but in this case, they were ready within 12 hours. Here’s the Google Tour: –> https://goo.gl/maps/zdhvAzHExsBFwh6t9

Lastly, step five required creating a customized overlay for the Google Tour.

While it’s great to have the 360° Tour available on Google Maps for everyone to see, it’s even better to have an overlay that provides shortcuts and additional information, enhancing the immersive experience of the 360° tour.

Take a look at the final product and enjoy!

Now would a 360 tour enhance YOUR customers’ experience of your business? The answer 99% of the time is YES!

So get in touch. If your business is in Staplehurts, I have a deal for you that you cannot refuse! Then please….

Is your company on Google Maps and Google Earth? If not, it could result in missed opportunities to attract potential customers!

Enhanced online presence: By adding a 360-degree virtual tour to your Google Maps listing, your business becomes more visible online, making it easier for potential customers to find and engage with your business.

Improved customer experience: A virtual tour allows customers to explore your business from anywhere at any time, giving them a better sense of what your business has to offer before they even step foot in the door.

Increased customer confidence: Providing a virtual tour of your business can help build trust with potential customers, as they can see what to expect before they visit your business.

Competitive advantage: Having a 360-degree virtual tour can set your business apart from competitors who may not offer the same level of immersive online experience.

Overall, a 360-degree Google Maps Street View tour can help your business attract more customers, improve their experience, and ultimately drive more revenue.

But only one thing! Its got to be shot tomorrow as the keys are being handed over to the buyer the day after!

When I got to the property, you think WOW! This place is amazing!

So off I went to work. The client wanted some ‘record’ photos of the final building, but I won’t bore you with those!

Here are some of my favourite images I shot during the day.

I also created some “Tiny Planet” images. These are basically 360° panoramas that have been manipulated to resemble a small, self contained world!

If you have an unusual house you would like me to create some images for you to display, then please give me a call on 07973 705477 or email mark@phototeam.co.uk

So, I take the 360° photo, of the front of the house ….

…. plus another the far side of the skip so I can use the detail in that one to Photoshop the skip out!

Shouldn’t take me more than an hour I thought! Going to have to skip Eastenders tonight! lol

I carry on and capture the rest of the house for the 360° virtual tour.

An hour later, I’m just shooting the last bedroom when I hear a commotion outside!
Air brakes and the sound of chains rating. Its the skip guy with his lorry to eliminate my hours worth of entertainment with Photoshop’s airbrush and cloning tool!

So there you have it! Back in the office. Download the images and compile the Virtual Tour, Simples!

And I then had to sit through Eastenders. Last one for a while though!!

Thanks Green Box, made my life a bit easier today!

Mmm! Thought not?

But I’m sure you are looking at Online Viewings.

Yes, owners can do a walkthrough on their mobiles. You could probably get an inexpensive 360° camera and try yourself!

Most agents are now looking at the on-line viewing as the ‘first viewing’. If the client then requests an actual viewing, you know that they are serious about that property!

So the better and more ‘immersive’ the 360° tour is the better they will be at qualifying themselves as a prospective buyer!

We have been shooting and constructing 360° VR tours for over 6 years. We are recognised by Google and trusted to upload 360° tours of businesses to Google Maps.

We also make 360° tours of houses. Take a look at this new-build:

We are also able to shoot standard room stills of the property as well as make up floorplans.

Give me a call on 07973 705477 or visit our site: https://360PhotoTeam.co.uk for a chat on how we can help.
