You'll need some basic software to create and display virtual tours.

Stitching Software (required for fisheye and rectangular images)

  1. Realviz Stitcher Unlimited
    This is the one I use. Good, easy-to-use stitcher software. Accurate results with no adjustments necessary to produce perfect tours every time. One of the best stitching programs available. Completely automatic with perfect results every time.
  2. EasyPano Panoweaver
    Also very good. Includes an HDR option to resolve blown-out windows and difficult lighting situations. Support for 16 bit and RAW formats. All lenses supported. Process your virtual tours in batches and save time.

Tour Display Software

  1. EasyPano Tourweaver 3.0 Pro
    Very good software. I can especially recommend the Tourweaver product for ease of use and professional, consistent output. Display your virtual tour in an easy-to-use interface with Flash, Java, and full-screen capabilities. The pro version is what you need. My clients love the customizable viewer. Make one based on the Website design of your best customer and watch sales skyrocket. demo

Multiple Exposure Software (to fix over-exposed windows so you can see the view)

  1. Photomatix Pro
    Capture views through sunny windows easily with this software. The best HDR and light averaging software anywhere. Especially handy for getting those shots other photographers can't seem to capture.

Other Software

  1. Easy Thumbnails
    This freeware is useful for batch jobs including rotating images, sharpening, and resize/resampling.
