Starting directly from digital photographs, or from full 360 degree panoramas (created using Stitcher, for example), VTour facilitates the creation of 3D scenes such as interiors (rooms, buildings…etc) or urban zones (places, streets…etc), using polygonal photo-textured primitives.
The results can be exported/published as either a 3D movie, or as an interactive application using 3D viewers such as Spi-V3D viewer (based on Shockwave®) or Virtools Web Player.
VTour has been specifically developed for use in a wide range of applications, such as virtual walkthroughs inside buildings and monuments, 3D simulation, virtual reality, urban planning and video games, and is also well suited for the creation of virtual sets for film and television. VTour thus ideally complements StoryViz, REALVIZ’ 3D previz and storyboarding software, enabling users to create photo-real backdrops for their previsualisation projects. VTour also ideally complements Stitcher (another of the REALVIZ software applications, which enables the creation of panoramas), for those who wish to add another dimension to their virtual visits.
