If you have made payments using “WiFi – Tap”, which became more in demand during Corona times (COVID-19), then you too have used the system… your bank card already has the NFC chip in it. If you have been to a filling station (Middle East) and noticed the guy filling your car pulling his badge and bringing it close to the pump before starting the pump, then you have seen the NFC-enabled card in action. Sometimes people refer to NFC card reader machines as NFC – Tap, or WiFi-Tap With NFC-Tap or WiFi Can cards you can enhance your business tremendously. Literarily for the costRead More →

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that has been around for decades. An NFC tag is a paper-thin wire antenna and a tiny chip that can be programmed once or multiple times to store different types of data. If you have stayed in any hotel and used a card similar to a credit card to open your room door, or if you have had a small tag (often like a teardrop shape) at work to open doors or to facilitate engine start or operation of any item… you have used an NFC-encoded device. If you have purchased a new phone in a box recently,Read More →

All tours have to be “hosted” by some server in order to be viewed by the public. Google virtual tours are tours that we create and host for free using Google servers. However, so far the Google-hosted tours have limited interaction, that is moving back and forth (following the arrows) and zooming in and out. However, when people say a Hosted Tour, they mean a tour hosted away from (or in addition to) Google servers. With more interactive content such as clickable hot spots which then reveal more information such as Text, Photos, or even video content. In most cases, even the directional arrows canRead More →

The cost truly depends on how many images are needed to represent your business well to the public. Some businesses need as little as 5 spherical images, some may have as many as 100. No two businesses are alike. Two restaurants occupying similar square meters/feet may have drastically different costs to cover. If a restaurant is open with minimum partitions and obstructions, it costs less compared to a restaurant with many partitions and corners. The minimum cost for Oman is RO 35.000 (with a minimum of 3 spherical images). Just give us a call or use the contact form, and we will visit you at noRead More →

The answer is yes, and the reasoning is very simple. If you were about to travel to a new place, you ‘Google’ a restaurant or hotel, and two show up, they both have everything you want. They also cost about the same. However, one has a 360º Virtual Tour, and you can see “everything” in it and about it. The other has boring photos or standard old-style video that only shows you what the camera person wants you to see… which will you choose? If you answered  “the one where you can see everything” or “the one that has a 360º Virtual Tour”, you areRead More →

A 360º Virtual Tour is a combination of multiple 360º images (spherical images, otherwise called spheres) interconnected in a logical flow. Typically if we take spherical images of a business, we take them in a logical progression, to create a natural flow as if you were actually walking into the business. You can turn right, left, move forward, back, look up, down, and all around from the position you stand, just like in real life. So when all is said and done, a virtual tour allows you to have a natural (life-like) experience of visiting a place. Here’s an example (click the square icon topRead More →
