Buffalo Bills Site Calls on Virtually Anywhere's NFL Experience
 Professional football franchises are changing the way their fans experience their games, making them full-blown game day "events", rather than just a simple sporting experience. The popularity of skyboxes, VIP seating areas, and large, comfy private viewing sections, complete with all the amenities of home, are becoming the norm all across the country.
The Buffalo Bills are one of the NFL Teams who are leading the way in providing their fans with a wide variety of seating options, private areas, and services including close-circuit TV systems, full food and beverage service, and warm, comfortable furniture for lounging.
”Most of our premium seating sections have been renovated and some added over the last 5 years and we were looking for an opportunity to help our fans consider these premium areas without the hassle of driving to the stadium for a tour,” notes Buffalo Bills corporate sales manager, Neal McMullen. “When I spoke with Canny from Virtually Anywhere, I realized that their product was exactly what we needed to accomplish our goals.”
The Bills make use of a well designed website to give fans the lowdown on the team, the stadium, and the various seating options available.
"Our premium seating areas provide a tremendous value to anyone looking to give their guests some of the very best hospitality options professional football has to offer," continues Neal. "It was a necessity to add an online tour of these areas, to adequately show them off. I knew Canny had done a fantastic tour of Reliant Stadium for the Houston Texans, so choosing Virtually Anywhere to produce our tour was an easy choice for me."
The Buffalo Bills Premium Seating Virtual Tour will launch soon. For a preview of the tour, please visit Premuim Seating Tour. Beginning with one of our Standard Tours, the Bills added plenty of interactivity and options. Look for multiple hotspots throughout the tour highlighting amenities, views and services offered. |

Bank of
America Makes Innovative Use of 360
Degree Imaging Technology
 When international
banking giant, Bank of America, needed
a solution to a logistical problem,
they turned to Virtually Anywhere
for their expertise in highly interactive,
realistic 360 degree imaging tours,
rich with content and features.
"Bank
of America had an interesting problem
trying to reach global customers for
their Image Lockbox product,"
notes Virtually Anywhere Founder Carrington
Weems. "They have one of the
banking industry's most advanced systems
for processing remittance and negotiable
instruments, and Sales teams were
seeing success with customers who
had the time and travel budgets to
visit the various Image Lockbox facilities
to see the intricate system work."
But how to close on the customers,
with high business potential, who
couldn't physically take the tour
of the facilities?
Enter Virtually
Anywhere. Canny Weems continues, "Bank
of America's Image Lockbox sales team
was great at reaching their targeted
prospects, but needed a full-blown
tour of the system that they could
carry on a laptop, or send to a customer
on an economical, platform independent
CD. After more than a year in production,
they have just that."
Virtually
Anywhere used a customized tour solution
to completely recreate the actual
tour of the Image Lockbox system,
and even one-upped the physical tour
by combining multiple locations, complex
systems, and a few areas even the
most promising customers could not
access because of security concerns.
Now, simply launching the easy to
navigate interface of the tour takes
you to each and every intricate part
of their process, with liberal use
of hotspots for detailed information
about particular aspects of every
part of the system. And all from the
comfort of your office, conference
room, hotel or home. Or, as we like
to say, Virtually Anywhere.

more about how Bank of America takes
their customers, Virtually Anywhere.

Virtually
Anywhere Interactive creates a very
unique form of sales presentation
that can be used in any industry where
location or environment is an important
aspect of the sales
process. Whether it is a tour for
a
healthcare facility,
a new member orientation tour for a
large church, an offline sales
presentation for a
manufacturing plant,
or even a
sports team wanting to
show their facilities online for
player recruiting, or
ticket sales, our individualized
approach can meet all needs. We regularly
work for clients all over the country
and are prepared to go anywhere.
Unlike
other “virtual tour” companies
that rely on the gee whiz factor of
a few 360 degree photos, we believe
that one of the most important aspects
of a presentation is in the interface
design -- how you use the tour. With
this in mind, VA produces the most
intuitive, streamlined, and user friendly
presentations in our industry. We regularly
tailor our
client’s presentations
to their precise needs, whether it
be a self guided tour for
the web, a scripted tour for a boardroom
presentation, or creating an interactive
story told via interaction through
an immersive environment.
Subtle differences
are what we excel in.

Create
Your Own Virtual Tours - Consumer
Software is Fun and Easy to Use
Like a lot
of folks, many of you may have gotten
a new digital still camera for the
 holidays.
Buried in the boxes, are CD's packed
with fun software. Many manufacturers
now include simple applications to
help you make that virtual tour of
your in-laws newly remodeled country
home! Or maybe, you want to show off
some of your own handy-work on a family
website. Whatever the subject, you
can create simple VR images with many
of the cameras out there. For example,
Canon includes a software package
with some of its more feature-rich
cameras that allows you to take multiple
exposures in a room, and "stitch"
them together.
Check your
software CD to see what software may
have been included with your camera.
The Canon software includes an image
browsing application, a stitching
application to invisibly blend multiple
exposures, and a Quicktime VR authoring
application to create a full 360 degree
image.
Experiment
and have fun! You'll be suprised how
tricky it is to make the seams line
up, but with a little practice, you'll
get the hang of it.
Check
out this informative website and
learn about taking panoramic photos,
stitching and tricks to make frame
overlaps smooth.
