What is an Ipix image?

Our 360° iPix™ images are full 360 degree spherical panoramic pictures used in building “VR-style” virtual tours. You can interactively “step inside and look around” real places such as a travel destination, a conference or business facility, a concert hall or movie set, a museum or campus, inside a vehicle or an open exterior space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose QuickTime or Java for my web site?
Pick Java VR if you have to choose the single largest and most available Internet delivery solution for your web site audience. Java must be enabled on the client's computer and the playback is more responsive on faster computers with more memory.

Choose QuickTimeVR if you can control the hardware and/or software used to view your virtual tour like a company network , kiosk installation, CD-ROM or PowerPoint™ presentation.

QuickTime™ will easily handle larger High Definition-high resolution files much better than Java as well as streaming sound and video. A Mac computer will already have QuickTime installed while a PC computer may need to have this additional software installed.

You can offer to display both and give the visitor a choice: Java VR for the widest audience, QuickTime VR for targeted higher performance such as full screen presentation of High definition VR.

How soon after you take the pictures can I see the images?
Normally 24-72 hours after we leave your location. We will host your new 360° images or iPix™ VTours package in the client review area of our web site so you can see them as fast as we can get them up on the Web.

I don't have a web site. Can I still use 360VR Images?
Certainly. We can host your virtual tour or set up a new web site for you. If you don't need a web site, 360° images can work with most software capable of playing QuickTime™. This means you can integrate 360° images into presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint™ or MacroMedia Director™ for a CD-ROM project.

I do have a web site. How do I put these images on it?
When you review your 360° images or iPix™ VTours package in the client review area of our web site you will also have the underlying client-side html code to integrate them into your own web site. Your Web designer can copy and transfer this code to your web site. If you need assistance we are here to help you also.
