I disagree with Hans and Bo, or at least am not in total agreement.

This project documents a large space. The landscape and areas  
documented will, of course, have a major impact on how "interesting"  
the images are. More important, I believe, is how interested you are  
in visiting this space. If you are looking at it as an art piece, it  
may very well fail. If you look at it as documentation of an area with  
the end user someone who may visit and wants to know what is there,  
I'd say it is quite successful.

Ya know. Hans, I gotta say this is one time I do agree with you.

Its hugely important that the appetite of the viewer is excited -  
having a
bunch of less interesting panoramas is truthfully a dis-service to the
customer. Or at least normally the idea with a virtual tour job is to  
draw
the viewer further into the experience.

I simply did not manage to stay interested to view very many  
panoramas. And
the client did not get the value in terms of exposure, maybe because I  
did
not manage to find something really exciting. ;-)

Totally agree on this one.!

You could have made it with less than 25. Unless you are paid for the
quantiy of panoramas I find it just useless to do a tour of this
place with 258 panoramas.
People get tired of looking at the same thing. And you can not find
the interesting places among all the boring panoramas.

I would have chosen the 10 most interesting places and done some
really high quality panoramas.

The art in doing a virtual tour is to make it as small as possible.
