Follow on Google News | Circlescapes Puts Original Spin on Internet Virtual ToursVirtual Tour Provider, Circlescapes.com, uses artistry and technology to provide the PGA Tour with a unique view of the Sawgrass golf course. Their technique provides true interactive immersion on the Internet.
“Our virtual tours look great at full-screen, so a viewer can spin up, down, left and right around a hotel, museum, hospital, spa or golf course, and we can show them detailed views of every element within the spin,” said Franzino, the company’s principal photographer. According to Franzino, the method for creating the panoramic spins has a photographer take four to eight photos per location with a wide-angle or fish-eye camera lens, allowing the viewer to get a fully spherical view of an area. Once the panoramic spins are “stitched” Circlescapes recently completed projects with the PGA TOUR and TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. “We captured spherical views of 28 locations in the new TPC clubhouse and on the golf course at THE PLAYERS Championship, including the renowned 17th hole,” Franzino said. “Consider the number of people who see the elegant clubhouse during the telecast of THE PLAYERS and who might want to know more about it, but may not have an opportunity to visit it in person. They can now view the interior online via the virtual tour,” she said.

The pictures and spins can tell the viewers a story,” said Stephanie Corwin with PGA TOUR. “The virtual tours provide images and excitement to golf enthusiasts that are second only to attending the tournament.” Circlescapes is currently working on virtual tours for the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, The Spa at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club and The Lodge & Club at Ponte Vedra. Circlescapes also recently launched a virtual tour for DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital in Portland, Ore. “We are excited about the broadness of the potential market for interactive, marketing-driven virtual tours for hospitals, college campuses, resorts, theme parks, spas, and cruise lines, just to name a few,” said Franzino.
