Immersive, shareable spherical panoramas captured from altitude — giving stakeholders a virtual site walkthrough without requiring a physical visit. Serving Des Moines and Central Iowa.
The Deliverable
Interactive 360° panoramas are viewable in any browser — drag to look around, pinch to zoom. No app required.
Each panorama captures a full 360° horizontal and 180° vertical sphere — every direction from a fixed point in the sky. The viewer can look up, down, and all around.
Delivered as an interactive hosted link — share with anyone via email, Slack, or your reporting workflow. No software downloads or special viewers required.
We capture panoramas at multiple positions per visit — typically perimeter, center, and key structural vantage points — so stakeholders can explore the site from multiple perspectives.
Panoramas are viewable on mobile, desktop, and VR headsets. Gyroscope support on mobile means the viewer physically looks around by moving their phone.
What You Get
Each panorama is processed and hosted as a browser-based interactive viewer. Share via link — no login or download required for recipients.
Source equirectangular JPEG files are included with delivery for archive purposes or use in your own VR/visualization software.
Up to 4 panoramas per visit captured at different positions and elevations — giving remote viewers multiple vantage points across the site.
Each delivery includes a simple reference map showing where each panorama was captured, so viewers understand their vantage point in relation to the site.
Panorama links can be password-protected for projects with confidentiality requirements — only share with people who have the link and password.
Each visit's panoramas are archived in a dated library — building a chronological record of the site you can navigate over time.
Who Uses It
360° panoramas are for any stakeholder who needs to understand the site but can't be there in person — and that's most of them.
Owners and investors who aren't local to the project get a meaningful, immersive site update that goes far beyond photos. Forward a link and they can explore the site in minutes.
Project managers, consultants, and inspectors who need to visually assess site conditions without traveling can use 360° panoramas to examine the site in detail from any angle.
Developers can share immersive progress panoramas with prospective tenants during the leasing process — a compelling way to show the space taking shape before completion.
Architects, engineers, and consultants can use 360° site panoramas to review field conditions, check installed work against plans, and flag coordination issues without a site visit.
Dated, time-stamped 360° panoramas provide a comprehensive visual record of site conditions at any point in the project — valuable in claims, disputes, and warranty situations.
Safety teams can use 360° site panoramas to document site conditions for OSHA compliance, safety planning, and new crew orientation without requiring a physical walk.
