About the Author

We are a multi-media company committed to producing high quality virtual environments/tours that are realistic. We use the latest technology to create our products. Most virtual tours available today provide only the very common 360-degree panoramic view, where you have the ability to scroll the view in every direction.

What we provide is a method of freedom. In our virtual environments, not only is the user able to view left and right, but is actually given the opportunity to advance forward as when walking. This makes it possible to roam from point A to point B, and then have the freedom to walk back to point A if so desired. You can also zoom in and even handle objects. This requires us to capture an area so thoroughly that every possible angle is covered and linked in such a manner that the user has the feeling of actually experiencing the area. This is unlike any other virtual tour on the market today!

Enjoy your walk through Charleston.

This is a wonderful tour of Charleston. I am from Chas. & temporarily living far from home right now so this program really gave me a little piece of home. Wonderful graphics & true to life detail. You can hear the seagulls on the battery, the waves on the beach, and children playing in the background. It made me very homesick, while also making me feel that I had just had a wonderful visit with my wonderful hometown. So glad I bought it!

I just wanted to know what all the hoopla was about. It's one of those things where if you sit in front of it long enough, you eventually forget where you are and pretty soon you'll think you're in Charleston! Ha! It's true. I had lunch in the office while looking at the CD, and after walking all around Waterfront Park, and hearing the birds and everything, I felt like I had really spent my lunch break there! It sounds crazy but it's the honest to God truth!

I actually saw this last weekend in a giftshop in Charleston where they had a computer set up. People were going nuts over the thing.. There was a line to get to the computer! I didn't buy one at the time, but of course I had to eventually order me a copy. I'd never seen anything like it. You'll definitely feel like you've gone back to Charleston when you experience it. It's almost like Virtual Reality.
