Here you can see my latest interactive panoramas and get information on my current projects. I am a professional provider dedicated to the craft of producing high resolution, full screen, interactive, 360 degree, panoramas and virtual reality tours. If you have an interesting and unique location, business or resort, why not show it off to the world? Viewers get a better sense of your environment by being able to see the <em>whole<\/em> environment, up, down, and all around! It&#8217;s the next best thing to actually being there.<\/p>\n<p>This technology is being used with great success by realtors, museums, parks, hotels, resorts, churches, restaurants, schools, theaters, architects, builders, offices, by anyone who has a great space that they want the world to see!<\/p>\n<p>Photography is a very important component in your internet marketing. An investment in professional panoramic photography can enhance the way your business or resort environment is presented. This is what you are selling and you want your consumers to have a positive impression of the environment that they will be visiting!<\/p>\n<p>Professional panoramic photography used on your website will have a \u00a0positive effect on your marketing campaigns. Also, subpar photography or older panoramas that aren&#8217;t high resolution, full screen enabled and high dynamic range can result in outright rejection of your business&#8217; marketing efforts.<\/p>\n<p>I am based in the Cincinnati, Ohio area but will travel to your location in the USA to do photography for your interactive panorama project.<\/p>\n<p>All of the panoramas are presented in Flash format. Just click on the photo to open up a Flash version of the panorama. There is an option in the small controller bar to open the pano up to FULL SCREEN size, I recommend doing that to see the most detail. Then simply click and drag with your mouse inside the pano to view whatever part of the pano that you want to see. The Flash plug-in may already be installed on your computer. (New Apple Computers no longer come with Flash installed so to view these you will need to download the Flash plug-in). \u00a0If not, it is a free download and can found by going to the <a href=\"http:\/\/rackphoto.com\/pp\/links\/\">Links Page<\/a>. Some of the older panos on my archive pages may also be in the QTVR format.\u00a0New Apple computers come with a version of Quick Time that is not compatible with their older QTVR media format. If you really want to be able to view QTVR files the legacy version QuickTime 7 must be downloaded and installed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1887\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/rackphoto.com\/pp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ron-portrait-0055-web.jpg\" width=\"575\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rackphoto.com\/pp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ron-portrait-0055-web.jpg 575w, https:\/\/rackphoto.com\/pp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ron-portrait-0055-web-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rackphoto.com\/pp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ron-portrait-0055-web-150x64.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rackphoto.com\/pp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ron-portrait-0055-web-400x171.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rackphoto.com\/pp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ron-portrait-0055-web-500x214.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Contact me at 513-421-6267 or email \u00a0ron (at) rackphoto.com to discuss your project requiring interactive panoramas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">COPYRIGHT INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All images and panoramas appearing on this website are owned and \u00a9 by Ron Rack.
