[quote=AN]Scarlett, if you take enough pictures of all the angles if the house (this is needed to produce a meaningful stitch using PhotoSynth), then this will eliminate the camera angle problem. Also, when I seem something missing, I automatically assume that it must be bad, that’s why they’re trying to hide it. Of course REAL virtual tour (not these follow my camcorder ones) will only get you so far. If you’re serious about a place, you definitely need to drive buy, go inside, etc. But virtual tour will eliminate 90+% of the houses that have deal breakers (ones that you know as soon as you see it). If you looked into PhotoSynth, you’ll notice that it’ll stitch pictures together and create almost like a 3D environment, where you can move around in 3D if there’s sufficient images to cover all the angles.[/quote]
I agree with you AN, and Photosynth is really cool. But it would be best if there would be some certain minimum standards in terms of # of MEANINGFUL pics per room/sqft etc. (no variations on the same one please). If it’s missing it wasn’t always bad, just sloppy picture taking…Yea, that would eliminate most of the houses considered, I agree.
