Full Screen 360′s give you the experience of standing in a space and looking in all directions 360 degrees. Two types of 360′s are common; cylindrical and cubic. Cubic 360′s give you the ability to look up and down as well. Object 360′s allow you the ability to rotate an object, product, or anything that can be photographed 360 degrees.

My intention with this site is to make immersive panoramic images also called VR Photography more known among the general public.
Interactive panoramas is a young media and as such it has for many years been known among entusiastic photographers and multimedia creators. An interactive VR panorama can not be seen in a book or on a printed image. If you print the panorama it gets a completely different expression.
