The new 360CityGuide/Stockholm is now released. The old version was based on 360-images in Java and QuickTime format and this did not work on iPhone/iPad.
In the previous version of 360CityGuide/Stockholm we featured 18 hotels and 34 other partners such as museums, boutiques and convention venues, in the old format.
In the new updated version we have over 180 partners nominated. Our Advisory Board is now in a process, together with our Project Management team, to make the final selection what partners to feature in our new 360Show format. We will highlight max 20 partners in each category and the selection is based on fine architecture, exquisite design and unique location.
There are no costs involved for our selected partners to participate on 360CityGuide except for the cost for the images that we normally already have produced for our clients.
Full functionality is already in place on 360CityGuide/Stockholm but all 360-images need to be produced and each featured partner will have their 360Show presentation loaded as soon as it has been produced. Production in Stockholm and 12 other cities will proceed during 2013/14.
All selected partner will be highlighted in the new 360Show format:

Our 360CityGuide website is being updated with a totally new design as we prepare for a major new release with all new content. Our 360-images are now optimized for all major web browsers, including iPhone/iPad and Android devises.
This is by far the largest design update we have done since the first launch in 2002 as everything is changed, including all content. Productions in 12 cities have been initiated and new content will be loaded regularly as each city evolves with new productions.
We use Google maps instead of our own produced interactive maps used in our previous design. We integrate with Google Street View wherever possible as their outside 360-images are a perfect complement to our 360-images from inside a hotel, restaurant or museum. Featured hotels and other partners are highlighted with our new 360Show multimedia design format loaded with 360-images, still images and video.
The 360CityGuide concept is however the same. We load an interactive map with our carefully selected partners and highlight them with our 360-images.
We select the best partners we can find in a city or destination based on fine architecture, unique design and fantastic locations. Our target audience is travellers looking for the unique and special in a city. Individuals and corporations who want to "look before they book" and actively is seeking for advice and inspiration before they travel.

New version of 360Show is launched. The new version of our web design format 360Show is optimized for all major web browsers including iPhone/iPad and Android devices.
The new design allow a true interactive multimedia experience as we load 360-images, still images as well as video in the same format.
360Show is the best way to get a fast return on the investment in 360-images, still images and video. A standardized web template, optimized for all web browsers, at low cost has many benefits. It is the fastest way possible to get the new multi media content published online. Our clients save a lot of time not thinking about design and functionality as the design already is done.
360Show is a web hosted service and only a simple link is needed on their website or their partner's websites. This link is also perfect to use for all outgoing emails for sales and marketing staff.
The new 360Show will be used for all featured partners highlighted on our 360CityGuide website. The 360Show format can also be used by our clients "as is" for free or slightly modified for at a low cost.

360WorldGuide is changing the contract policy and will now include all clients under our high volume contract terms. As of today all clients will benefit from one single contract with reduced prices on all services.
Instead of spending time on negotiations and endless project meetings we have decided to simplify everything for us and our clients and use one single contract intead of individual contracts.
This change will enable all clients to benefit from our large volume production prices normally only available to very large global accounts such as Hilton and other hotel chains.
The reason for this change is the launch of our updated 360CityGuide project. In this project we will have photographers at many locations all over the world on a regular basis and any company can order a production at all inclusive fixed prices.
The only limitation is that we need a minimum of 5 productions that can be coordinated at the same time before we send a photographer or a team of photographers.

Over 40 Hilton properties have now ordered our service to convert our tours on the Hilton brand websites to the Expedia format. The Hilton properties in Japan are the latest to be published on Expedia, Hilton Tokyo, Hilton Osaka and Hilton Nagoya.
To convert already produced tours for the Expedia website is very cost efficient and a fast Return on Investment is expected as tours on a hotel booking website generate a considerable increase in new room reservations.

Many already produced Hilton properties request our tours to be converted to the Expedia format. On the Hilton website our tours are QuickTime based but Expedia demand cylindrical projection for tours.
We take care of the entire procedure and project management needed to convert and deliver the correct format to Expedia. The hotels don't have to do anything at all as our converted tours already are quality screened by Expedia.

Release of the new 360Show Format. The 360Show CD application format has been a great success with over 100 productions sold. Initially this CD production was intended for offline use for computers, CD or usb memory sticks. The last year we have noted that our webhosting service 360Download have been increasingly appreciated by our clients and they create links to their 360Show presentation and also to specific individual 360-images on the presentation and send these links via email to clients and partners. The service in not only used for download and the capability to create their own links is now more important.
To make this even better we have decided to include the low resolution version of the 360-images, integrated in the new design, on the Enhanced Edition version at no extra charge. Previously the low resolution version was available as a separate production for online use at a cost, 50% of the initial cost of the production, but now it is integrated in the Enhanced Edition at no extra cost.
We have decided to start using this format for all our online webhosted services such as 360CityGuide, 360Map and on all contract we have with city tourist & convention organizations.

Conrad Rangali Island Maldives Hotel is the first Conrad property to be produced by 360WorldGuide, with 360-images, as part of the Hilton contract.
Conrad is part of the Hilton family of luxury brands.
A resort such as the Conrad Maldives is quite different from a photography aspect compared with a business hotel. This property is spread over 2 private islands with long distance between each room to produce. The resort is also far away from the capital city and a seaplane is the only practical way of transportation. A business hotel can be produced during 2 days while resorts usually require 4-6 days production time at location.

Change of ownership at 360WorldGuide. The company started up 1999 founded by Niclas Johansson and Bill Blakeus with 50% each of the company chares. On December 1, 2006 Bill Blakeus acquired all company shares and is now the sole owner of the company.
360WorldGuide has developed a unique business model and production methodology based on the photography of 360-images. The key component of the success has been the project management approach to photography designed to cater for large volume contracts and the need for global businesses and organizations to simplify the process of acquiring photography services with a standardized look & feel and easy to understand legal terms.
A large part of all contracts are designed to be able to coordinate with each other, such as the contracts with Hilton, Scandic, First Hotels and tourist & convention organizations via European Cities Tourism and BestCities. For their members this brings many benefits including very low prises due to high volume contracts but also the benefit of using the 360-images on several websites at one cost, such as their own corporate website, the city official website and also on the 360CityGuide website.
360WorldGuide also have created a number of standardized applications and platforms such as the 360Show CD production, 360PostCard, 360Map and 360CityGuide. 360ImageBank is a database with thousands of 360-images from all over the world available for website owners who wish to spice up their website with already made 360-images.

360WorldGuide has been awarded the contract to produce 360-images, virtual tours, as well as digital still images for the Hilton International website.
Hilton International has been looking for a way to acquire 360-images and digital images for their website projects for several years. The problem has been to find suitable photographers at the location of their properties. The issues have been contractual and the difficulty to manage a photography project with over 450 properties all over the world. To use local photographer would require massive project management resources and a great challenge to enlist local photographers for a relative small number of properties each. The legal issues would be complex with international immaterial law rights and a very detailed photo brief would be needed to communicate a specific look & feel for all images.
The 360WorldGuide approach to use one single contract including full project management is an easier way forward and this capability has now been tested with several trials during the last 6 months and the contract has now been signed on May 5, 2005.

The main benefit with the contract is to acquire 360-images from one single production partner, with a standardized look & feel and also to avoid any potential legal problem regarding immaterial legal rights. A tourist & convention bureau usually don't have the time and resources to check the legal rights for every image published on their websites. This problem is avoided with the contract and the images can be used forever and wherever as long as the 360WorldGuide byline is used under each published image.
The prices are based on a very large volume contract with 1/3 of the standard normal cost in order to make it possible for even the smallest hotel or museum to be highlighted with 360-images.
