The Picture Apart from being a very high definition image, which allows you to explore the stadium like never before, we’ve also built in functionality which will allow you to tag anything you find interesting and share the zoomed in image with your friends. The idea I can’t take full credit for the idea itself, [...]
We have been overwhelmed by the response to our recent Hyper Definition Image of Cape Town and appreciate so many people taking the time to write comments and send us mails. As a show of our appreciation, we’ve dusted off another Hyper Definition Image we took from Signal Hill earlier this year and converted it [...]
When you work in the virtual tour business, you have the privilege to witness technological advances almost daily. But every once in a while these changes combine to create an effect that can only be described as a Game Changer. Today we are proud to share such an culmination of technological advances. For a lack [...]
We recently created a virtual tour of the KFM studio’s in Cape Town and it has been added to their website: www.kfm.co.za . Ryan O’Connor (the morning show DJ) was our tour guide and, as you’ll see from the embedded video clips in the virtual tour, he is just as comfortable in front of the [...]
Took a lovely hike up Lions Head yesterday. If you haven’t done it before – it’s a brilliantly beautiful walk with views all around. And the view from the top ….. well, you can judge for yourself: Remember to click on the full screen icon – top right.
Most people have heard of Fynbos. We know it’s unique, we don’t always understand why, but we like the look of proteas and believe the experts when they say it’s important to conserve and protect these plants. Even UNESCO has pitched in by declaring the Cape Floral Kingdom a World Heritage Site. One of the [...]
We recently took and compiled the biggest (highest definition) picture ever taken of Cape Town.
For those curious as to how we did it, I will post a ” How we did it” later in the week – so drop your email in the subscribtion box to the right if you want to get an email notification.
We will also have some very exciting news about how this picture can help you win a week for two in the fabulous Thornybush Game Reserve…… exciting !!
Seeing that we’re busy with a series on South African sport stadiums, I thought I’d share this panoramic image taken at the recent rugby test match between South Africa and Australia at Newlands Rugby Stadium
We visited the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town a few weeks ago and compiled a 360º virtual tour with embedded video for your viewing pleasure.
Green Point Stadium will be the venue for one of the semi-final games of the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
What we’ll do here however, is give you some proper virtual tours and interactive content to explore.
First up: a 360º view from the raised platform in the middle of the stadium, with an integrated video
South Africa is getting itself ready for the 2010 Soccer World Cup and all around the country we see magnificent new sport stadiums rising in preparation for what promises to be a spectacle of note.
Seeing that Virtual Africa has had the privilege to shoot quite a few of the existing (and even a few of the new) stadiums, we thought it to be a good time to write a few posts on some of our brilliant sporting facilities.
This then is our series on: South African Sport Stadiums in 360º.
First up is my personal favourite: NEWLANDS RUGBY STADIUM
Table Mountain has been nominated to become one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and the World (that’s us) has until 7 July 2009 to cast their votes.
Unlike party political elections, voter intimidation is totally acceptable when it comes to the Wonders – and we’re getting into the act.
So, here’s how it’s going to go down:
If you’ve been to Table Mountain before, it’s a bit of a no-brainer and no intimidation will be necessary, simply click here to vote and then enjoy the virtual tour of the mountain below.
Ok, it’s apology time. …. I haven’t blogged in quite a while. The reasons are multiple: 1) top secret project – soon to be revealed; 2) lots of requests for virtual tours from accommodation venues; 3) a very busy and successful South African Tourism Indaba and, off course; 4) we have a new addition to [...]
(#2 of 8 ) In this second installment in our Virtual Africa series on the South African World Heritage Sites, we take a brief look at and share a few 360º virtual tours of The Cape Floral Kingdom. As mentioned before (in “Why South African World Heritage Sites are of importance to you“), this is [...]
I’m a bit behind on my World Heritage Site postings, but I’ve been running around with Americans (not the notorious Cape Town gang) and created some quality content to help them show how beautiful this part of South Africa actually is. So, while you anxiously await our next amazing post on one of South Africa’s [...]
