Google recently made it known of their new android Photosphere technology that will be available in the next android 4.2 os update. Basically, anyone with an android phone can create a virtual tour in minutes. My customers are always telling me 'I need website ideas' so I thought I'd write about some that incorporate Android's new Photosphere technology.
Some examples of Photosphere images
Event Photosphere photography website
A photographer makes his money taking photos for events. Why not add Photosphere to the menu or exclusively. The only drawback to this idea is that Photoshpere isn't very good at taking pictures of moving images.
Virtual tour service for real estate agents
As a real estate agent, making a virtual tour of your property, apartment or house is important. Unfortunately virtual tours cost a lot of money and require special equipment. Using an android device with a high pixel resolution would allow you to start a virtual tour service at a much cheaper rate than your competitors. No is the time to start a business like this, before others start making use of the technology.
Vitrual tour local attractions blog
I've talked about this in other blog posts. Basically, not all towns and cities have all the popular tourist attractions covered. One could generate a lot of website traffic and ad click revenue if they started a blog to cover all the local tourist attractions better than city websites do. If you haven't worked on the city board... let me just say, they are very slow to evolve. Starting a virtual tour guide for your local town or city using your android Photosphere technology would be a bog hit amongst tourists.
Photosphere stock photography website
There're a lot of stock photography websites online today, but not one Photosphere stock photography website. Why have a slideshow of a nice landscape for your home page when you can have a moving virtual tour image?
Photosphere Flicker or Instagram type website
You've heard of Flickr and Instagram; I'm sure. Why not create a similar social-networking type site using only Photosphere images? It's an idea. I think how cool it would be to get virtual tours of the social scene or just the environment your friends live in? It might be possible to add filter effects to Photosphere images with a little savvy programming.
For all of you out here complaining that 'I need website ideas' here they are. Don't just sit there, get off your butt, make some money, and like/plus this post.
That's it, I hope you like my Google website ideas.
