Fully Roaming Immersive Experiences

One of our core products, virtual tours can take your product and immerse your potential customers within it. Tangent360 panoramas and virtual tours offer unrivalled detail and resolution that shows your product at its best. We offer various resolutions starting at High Resolution and going up to Gigapixel; we will advise on the most suitable resolution for your product/environment and the purpose of the virtual tour.

The Tangent Framework is our unique interface that brings these high resolution panoramas and unique special features together. The framework has been developed to be robust, easy to use and fully cross-browser compatible ensuring that ALL your customers can view and operate the controls with ease.

Our framework is based on the Flash® plugin from Adobe® which is the worlds most pervasive software platform reaching 99% of internet enabled computers and devices across mature markets¹.

Our high resolution virtual tours are not much use if they are delivered slowly or if there is a long wait before the interactivity begins. We have overcome this problem by tackling the issue at both ends of the journey.
At the server end we host the tour on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) which replicates the data to a huge array of servers across the world. This means that the tour is always delivered to the user from a local server regardless of where they are on the planet.
At the client end (the users computer) our framework only downloads the parts of the panorama that the user is viewing which minimises any delay at the beginning of the tour. This is called "piecewise" loading and it allows us to offer the huge resolution virtual tours we are famous for with no extra waiting around for the end user.

Special Feature Toolkit

So what's so special about our features?

What makes our virtual tour features so special is their benefit to your product, your customers, your bottom line. Out of the box our virtual tours offer a door into your product that is unique and unrivalled but we take this offering a leap forward by creating tools and widgets that are tailored to your product.

The visitors to your virtual tour will be immersed in your product, now that you have their attention, use it. Our special features can provide sales info, contact info, product info, directions, advice, historical info, floor plans, aerial maps, product options and more and more. And then more.

Now imagine this information presented inside the virtual tour wrapped in a fun, exciting and engaging interface such as menus, price lists, signage or paintings jumping off the wall or table and filling the view. Any number of these widgets can be incorporated into a tour and the best bit, they are context relevant. Click on a bed or a chair in a furniture showroom tour and you can present the user with a catalogue style view including descriptions, dimensions, pricing and more. Once they have taken in this information and they close the widget, there is the product in situ, the visitor now becomes a customer.

Simple Integration For All

Most business websites today are maintained and controlled by a third party, usually a web design or marketing company, leaving control in the hands of the expensive experts. Almost all e-commerce websites will be controlled by an admin interface allowing company staff the ability to maintain the site, add new products etc. In recent years the trend for a lot of web design companies was to offer content management systems (CMS) to their customers which put more control of the web site administration and content management in the hands of the website owner.

All the above scenarios have their benefits but they all share one failing, advanced development of your website such as the integration of high quality, Flash based, XML driven virtual tours is either expensive, beyond the skills of a "web editor" or just impossible.

At Tangent360 we have solved this problem. Our Branded Remote Hosting service can give you the ability to add our virtual tours to your e-commerce or CMS driven site by simply creating a link. We take care of the rest. We will create your virtual tour and theme the interface to your website colour scheme and design then create the tour web page to match your site perfectly. This provides a truly branded service that integrates seamlessly and can be duplicated with ease so you can offer multiple tours such as property pages for estate agents.

Why not take your branded virtual tour pages a step further and include extra web content such as product information, photo galleries, video feeds and more. Our Client Portal allows you to configure all this through a powerful yet easy to use interface behind a secure login that you control.

And of course, our servers are designed and configured to provide the ultimate media delivery. Using the biggest and best Content Delivery Network (CDN) from Rackspace the global leaders in hosting platforms we can guarantee that your virtual tours and other media will be delivered at the fastest possible speeds, wherever your customers are on the globe.

Keeping It Fresh!

Our virtual tours, special features and branded remote hosting combine to make a formidable interactive interface with a multitude of applications. Underpinning this is the client portal which gives our clients full control over many aspects of their panoramic or virtual tour product.

All of our clients get access to the client portal and from a single web based interface they can control such things as the wording and pictures displayed in info panels, product prices and option lists, page content, welcome messages, special offers and much more.

For our branded remote hosting customers the client portal becomes a powerful content management system that controls all aspects of their remote pages, the virtual tours, images and other information.

Our client portal extends the life of your virtual tours allowing the content to stay up date and fresh thus encouraging visitors to return in the future.
