Fisheyes Ltd are a Web Design Company specialising in internet solutions and web site design for Hotels in Italy and the UK, one of our specialties is Hotel Virtual Tours.

The advantage of having your hotel rooms shown in a virtual tour allows "lookers" to have a much better idea of the facilities that you have to offer, and allows them to experience the hotel for themselves by interacting with the images and allowing them to see your hotel in the best possible light. This helps to convert "lookers" into "bookers".

We researched the market place prior to buying any virtual tour software and in our opinion, iPix 360° virtual tours provide the best technology available and are the perfect way to promote your hotel, guest house and bed and breakfast online.

An online virtual reality tour of your hotel is available for anyone to see around the world every day, 24 hours a day - 365 days a year.

An iPix 360° virtual tour will allow lookers to navigate through the iPix image themselves, to zoom in and out and to steer the image to look at particular areas of interest to them. It is a very powerful tool assisting in the promotion of your hotel. iPix virtual tours are one of the very few virtual tours that allow complete 360° X 360° views. Many lesser virtual tour products only allow you to view part of the image, so you do not get the full picture, or the navigation is not as easy to use.

The process is very simple to create the virtual tour images, and is as follows:

1. Capture two virtual tour images using our 8 megapixel Nikon 8700 camera, complete with super high quality Fisheye Lens. The images are 182°, and overlap slightly. This creates two hemisphere shaped images.
2. Edit and optimise the images in Photoshop.
3. Join the images together with the specially calibrated iPix software, and then output the images in the format that you require, whether it be Java or Quicktime, or low, medium or high resolution.

The finished virtual tour can easily be integrated into your web page, and will allow lookers a unique opportunity to visit your hotel before they book.

The iPix virtual tours also allow us to export a still image of the virtual tour, which is a stretched fixed image of the two combined virtual tour images, and it is called an equirectangular projection. An example is shown below. Click on the image and you can view a larger resolution image.

To see some other examples of our virtual tours, the following links will show you some of the images that we have taken over recent months. A collection of our Italian Hotel Virtual Tours can be seen at www.360italy.com
