Photography has come a long way since the early moving pictures of yesterday. Today, through the advent of IPIX™ Immersive Imaging, website visitors can view Virtual Tours of the White House or attend the Olympic Games-without leaving home. This interactive technology is now available for your golf course, resort, hotel, restaurant - or anywhere else for that matter.
Ipix Virtual Tours are not to be confused with other “panoramic tours” that move around in a flat circle. By viewing an IPIX™ image on your website, your customers can look up, down, left, right as well as zooming in and out-as if they were actually standing in your hotel room, restaurant, foyer, conference room or leisure centre.
Statistics prove the obvious: moving pictures create more interest, more visitors and more bookings.
