Showaround has been awarded the Heritage – New Technologies prize by the magazine Pèlerin for its Internet portal of “France in 360°” virtual tours (www.lafranceen360.fr), which does not have any advertising and is exclusively made up of high definition 360° virtual tours.
Totally immersed in high definition images
, visitors can browse horizontally or vertically at just a
mouse click.
The manager of Showaround, William Grand, is delighted that
the work accomplished over the last 3 years has been recognised:
"We travel all round France to
give the public the very best images possible. And just like
for the actual builders of our heritage, our key word is: quality.
Taking most of our shots from several metres above ground not only
brings added style but also requires technical skill to minimise
the deformation of three-dimensional lines of the monuments we snap
by positioning ourselves halfway up the façade."
Showaround offers to create this turnkey content as well
as customised interactive content
with the following references: Vinci (A19 work site), le
Nouvel Obs (Paris Motor Show 2008) and the Charente Tourist Board
(popular tourist sights in 360°).
In the heritage domain, Showaround is a partner of Vieilles
Maisons Françaises (VMF) and the Observatoire du Patrimoine
Religieux (OPR)
