360 virtual tour technology

360 virtual tour technology uses linked spherical panoramas to create immersive, interactive experiences.

A spherical panorama, or 360-degree panorama, is an immersive photographic technique that captures a view in all directions from a single point. Unlike traditional photography, which captures only a limited field of view, a spherical panorama allows the viewer to look around in any direction—up, down, and around—creating a comprehensive, wrap-around view of the environment.

In a spherical panorama, the image data is mapped onto a sphere, with the viewer positioned at the center. This panorama type is often used in virtual reality (VR) applications, online virtual tours, and specific mapping and architectural visualization tools. The result is a highly immersive experience that can be explored interactively, typically through specialized software or web applications.
