Virtual Tours
A little info about the Virtual Tours I produced in the noughties...
I created over 3000 virtual tours during 2004-2007, many well paid, many also just examples, but all great experience.
I owned and ran the websites below (no longer in existence), producing virtual tours in all categories, but especially busy with villas across Spain and Portugal, houses for estate agents, offices and hotels.
I believe the general lack of broadband at the time led me to decide to progress my developer career in London from 2007, but this is an area of work I thoroughly enjoyed and became quite expert at.
Today, with broadband everywhere, the tours download in no time, leading to far happier users.
I would choose to use the Matterport system today.
