Virtual Tours in Your Pocket

Our Virtual Tour customers not only hire us to shoot amazing full screen HD Virtual Tours because we’re the best and provide the highest quality tours in the area, but they choose to provide them as a convenience to their Clients as a way to show a realistic presentation to potential buyers.
Until now the only way to view these beautiful tours would be to pop open your favorite web browser, type or click a provided URL say http://www.coalmarch.com/media/duke-chapel-2081.php and click and drag to your hearts content viewing every single detail in the tour and either deciding that the property/location doesn’t appeal to you, or you want to actually visit the location and take a closer look.
A company that calls themselves Pangea Software (in which we are no way affiliated) has completely changed the way you can view Virtual Tours from all over the globe by utilizing the iPhone and iPod Touch. Now instead of having to view Virtual Tours on a computer screen, you can download the PangeaVR FREE Application on either your iPhone or iPod Touch and have the ability to view thousands of panoramic Portfolio’s from around the world or even self made Portfolio’s from Realtor’s. PangeaVR also gives you the option of entering a static URL for single Panorama’s that are in JPEG format.
Using this app is an absolute joy by using your finger to literally pan around each picture and zooming in and out is handled by utilizing the pinch/expand finger gestures on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Adding your own Portfolio to their database is quite simple with a standard XML file so anyone can get their panorama’s out there for all to see. This really brings viewing Virtual Tours to a whole new level and allows Realtors or anyone else the opportunity to show off their tours in a mobile format that is portable and can be viewed anywhere on the go rather than relying on a static computer.
