Looks like we have Thomas Hayden "GigaView360" representing the Google Trusted Photographers here, welcome Thomas and thank you for reaching out to Hubert (thats how I found out about it)!

Do we have any questions for Thomas?

This is what makes DR forums a TREASURE.

Awesome find Stefan! TY

Joe, Something tells me our area won't have a "Trusted Photographer" until 2019!!!

 

[Jeff Kershner]

Awesome find Stefan. This is basa$$.

Maybe Gigiview360 will join in on the conversation and fill us in. I wouldn't mind having my dealers get this (price permitting).

Most are just one giant room BUT people love to see cars. I'd be sure I had the right cars with the right message being displayed during the shoot.

Ideas are flowing!!

Lets say you have a Google Trusted Photographer stopping by the dealership for a shoot. What do you have on your showroom floor during the shoot?

I know I just spent 5 minutes zooming in and out of the Audi R8.

POP Material
Latest models
Maybe a group shot with all the employees

You could get real fun with this as well. Have employees with big smiles and waiving to the camera.
Employees holding a poster board with a message.

I don't know - just throwing stuff out there.

How often can you update the pictures?

FYI to anyone interested -- the local photographer quoted me a $329 one time fee for up to 30 panoramas & 15 still photos. Seems like a good deal.

I've always wanted to do a webcam so shoppers can "look around and get comfortable" before they come.

I like how you can take control and navigate this camera.

The Google experience is wayyy superior, but, you gotta keep it fresh.

I found PancakeCam.com about 7 years ago. He hasn't upgraded his site... ever.

I searched for other webcam sites (he uses a Canon VB-C50ir Webcam) and they're all broken! hahaha... cross that off my todo list
