I want to look into that and well I have no idea what I need for that.
I have a sony vx2100 and vegas, what I want the end result is where the customer can use the mouse to navigate the room(s) and have info on either side explaining the property. So any info on how to do this and what is needed is great

Actually is a still photo application, not video. The motion is added after the fact.

IPIX

Ipix ( http://infomedia.ipix.com/products/ ) is an easy system to use and can really add value for your clients. It utilizes a digital camera with a fisheye lense, tripod w/swivel bracket designed to position the camera at 180 degree angles, and a seaming software. According to my buddy, videographer Dave Solberg, you simply set the camera/tripod in the middle of the area where you wish to take a photo, then take two pictures and seam them in the ipix software.

The real estate version allows the average guy to take pictures inside the house, seam them, and then go into a template and actually create a simple website for the agency, or attach it to their existing site.

The more advanced version, says Dave, allows you to link photos together and virtually walk from room to room, down main street, or all around town. You can also hotlink various spots and either bring up more info, link to another website, or enlarge a feature.

I shoot the series of photos, stitch them together with the Canon software that came with the camera and turn them into a panaorama in Flash. The nice thing about Flash is that it doesn't require plugs and you can connect panoramas, make them interactive and so on.

Here is a virtual tour of Mont Tremblant, a ski resort in Quebec.
