The Royal Wedding Giga Pixel Panorama for the BBC
Spherical Images were asked by the BBC to capture the Royal Wedding procession as it came down the Mall after the wedding.
The image was on the home page of the BBC website for two days as one of their lead stories and only knocked off the top spot for shared links by the death of Osama Bin Laden!

It is the most beautifully designed structure which was developed with the guidance of Olympic Champion Sir Chris Hoy and hopes to be the worlds fastest indoor cycling track.
The Velodrome is the first of the London 2012 Venues to be completed, we hope to be photographing the Virtual Tours for the remaining venues as and when they are ready.
BBC Virtual Tours
Spherical Images are the panoramic and Virtual Tour photographers for the BBC.
We have done a number of projects for the BBC website, incuding showing the progress on the Olympic Stadium with the lights on ceremony (see this example) and opening up Westminster Abbey via a Virtual Tour before the Royal Wedding.
The Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall commissioned Spherical Images to develop virtual tours of the Hall’s key public spaces and auditorium for their new website.
This is what they said:
"Spherical Images responded to our tender with a clear written brief that demonstrated a flexibility in meeting our requirements and an understanding of the quality product we were looking for."
"Henry was a pleasure to work with throughout and his professionalism ensured that a potentially complicated project took place without difficulty. The standard of the finished tours met completely our brief and reflected the values and quality that people associate with the Hall."

Packwood Haugh School
Packwood Haugh School commissioned us to do a comprehensive, 20 area, tour of the school. They wanted their own branding and custom built interactive menus for the tour.
Madame Tussauds
The Merlin Entertainments Group initially commissioned Spherical Images to create virtual tours for Madame Tussauds to show how the world class attraction and award winning venue would work for a corporate event.
This is what they said:
"The feedback from clients has been so positive we have commissioned Spherical to shoot all of our other venues including Alton Towers, Warwick Castle, THORPE PARK and the London Dungeon. We have just commissioned Spherical to shoot tours of the new London Aquarium when it reopens in March 2009 and LEGOLAND Windsor."
"I believe the virtual tours that Spherical Images creates are the best in the industry and the professionalism of Henry makes him a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his company. "

Harrogate International Centre
The Harrogate International Centre wanted to show the different areas that can be hired for events and also show the beautiful restoration that has occurred in their Edwardian Royal Hall.
"I’d been so disappointed with the examples of virtual tours I’d
previously seen online that, I had all but given up on the idea of
including a virtual tour as part of the redevelopment of our websites. Then I
saw some of Spherical Images Virtual Tours."
"Speaking with not the least hint of hyperbole, Spherical
Images deliver the very, very best virtual tours on the international market:
not only was it a pleasure to work with Spherical Images, but the fluid,
high-spec virtual tour they created for Harrogate International Centre far
exceeded all expectations. It would be an understatement to say that all the
feedback I’ve had on the virtual tour since including it as part of our new
website has been overwhelmingly positive."

Wilton's Music Hall
Wilton's Music Hall commissioned Spherical Images to produce a Virtual Tour that showed the main, working, areas of the hall - showing it's beauty and uniqueness as a venue and the other behind the scenes areas in need of restoration.
This is the email we received on delivery of the tour:
"This is extraordinary! This will change the way that people see Wilton's when they research it forever. An amazing visual experience!! I found it easy to navigate after a couple of seconds, then you really go on an adventure! As long as people still physically come here now you can visit us in cyberspace! "
"Please accept two tickets for our next concert as a HUGE thank you from Wilton's for this most wonderful resource you have created for us."
