If a traditional photo is worth one thousand words, a 360° photo is worth ten thousand because people will do more than just look at it — they will interact with a 360° photo. They will move about in the photo trying to get a sense of a place. A 360° photo or video can be used on Facebook, Google, YouTube, etc.
I have taken my fair share of 360° photos for business owners and I see the data on Google Maps because I am a “Trusted Professional” in the Google Streetview For-Hire program.
Just a few examples of businesses:
- Restaurants and cafes
- Hotels and lodges
- Real estate and Property development
- Stores and shops
- Airbnb
- Car show room
- Gyms
- Function Rooms and Venues
- Corporate functions
