We create the first virtual walk for Destination Stockholm, 24 panoramas touring some of the most famous locations is Stockholm.

It is still running at www.destination-stockholm.com and has also been updated with a fullscreen-version.

To date it is the most popular pages on their entire site, covering 18 languages and has been viwed by appx 4.4 million unique visitors makin the sum total of viewed panoramas exceed 25 million views.

We also create tours this year for another of Swedens most famous touristattractions, the Göta Kanal. which we update most every year and which is still up and running.

We also begin the talks and the testing of an idea of how to remotely control a panorama in a webpage without the visitor having to dopwnload and install anything at all.
It takes us until the end of the summer to find out, and in early octiber we remotly steer a panorama interactivly over the internet at a physical distance of 200 km.

2003

 

We continue our cooperation with Destination Stockholm as we help them present he hotels they work with and make 5 panoramas from each hotel, at the time 180 panoramas, which to the most part are up, but which have also been updated with new hotels.

These hoteldescriptions have been viewed more than the virtual walk, and together with the virtual citywalk there are appx 1-2 panoramas downloaded and viewed - every second of the year.

The company management of Destination Stockholm has said that this has been the best marketing-action they have ever made.

It makes us happy and proud, and for certain, there are few photographers that has such an audience.

We also work on refining the Remote Controlling of the panorama and file an application for a Patent dec 23rd 2003.
2004

We Create an virtual tour from the Icehotel, one of the most visually exciting places on the planet.

Also a number of other hotels and locations, including also another "traditional" client type, the manufacturers of Caravans and Mobile Homes, which we have been working wth to present new nodels for each year since 2000.
2005 We are granted the patent on May 25th, and from now on work hard to put all money into the development of the patent to a product.
2006 We begin negotiations with an interested part who decides we will go into business together and form a new comapny soley for the development of the Patent, which is far away from the Panograf core-business.
