REALVIZ, a leader in imageprocessing software development, is pleased to announce that VTour, the
latest addition to their software portfolio for content creation, is now available. The product, which was unveiled at the recent IMAGINA show in Monaco, draws on the award-winning technology of Stitcher and ImageModeler and offers users of all levels an innovative and effective solution for the creation of photo-real 3D environments from 2D pictures or panoramas.

VTour has been specifically developed for use in a wide range of applications, such as virtual walkthroughs inside buildings and monuments, 3D simulation, virtual reality, urban planning and video games, and is also well suited for the creation of virtual sets for film and television. VTour thus ideally complements StoryViz, REALVIZ’ 3D previz and storyboarding software, enabling users to create photo-real backdrops for their previsualisation projects. VTour also ideally complements Stitcher (another of the REALVIZ software applications, which enables the creation of panoramas), for those who wish to add another dimension to their virtual visits.
