Real Estate Virtual Tour
Virtual tours are created for showing real estate listings online. More and more people are searching for homes online so real estate virtual tours play an important role in attracting more potential buyers.
Easypano now offers an online virtual tour platform for real estate agents to create and host 360 degree tours easily.
Two main steps to create a professional virtual tour for your real estate listing.
Preparation before making real estate virtual tour
Preparation Before Taking Home Photos (including 360 degree panoramic photo)
1. Main photography equipment: Digital camera (abbreviation as DC); Tripod (Optional); Pano Head (Optional)
2. Calculate the minimum number of shots required for shooting a 360 degree panoramic photo
Taking still photos is quite simple, while to get a 360 degree photo, you need to shoot enough photos in the horizontal direction with more than 20% overlapping between images.
To stitch a 360 degree panoramic image, the number of shots required for stitching varies with different cameras and lens. Instant Pano (a free photo stitching software for creating 360 degree panoramic image. Download) has provided a tool for calculating number of shots needed, please refer to Tutorial.
