About
Singapore VR is a project website created by VR photographer, Aram Pan to give visitors a virtual experience of all things that make up Singapore. It not only covers the usual tourist spots but also the people and events that make Singapore so unique. The project was conceived in early 2005 but it took almost 3 years for the required technology to mature. Today, with the availability of Google™ Maps, Adobe™ Flash-based VRs and superior broadband speeds, this web site is now finally a possibility. VRs are added each week so stay tuned to the latest additions at the "Blog & Updates" section.

Frequently Asked Questions.
This section is to help answer some of the more common questions often emailed.

Q: Can you do a feature of my retail shop/restaurant/condominium/automobile on the Singapore VR website?
A: There have been several requests to feature corporate or commercial entities on this website. Kindly note that corporate and commercial entities wanting to be featured will need to contribute some form of sponsorship. For free advertising, please use the Classified Ads section of this website.

Q: How do you create a VR?
A: Multiple photos are shot on location and assembled into a large panoramic image, something like a large texture map. This image is then mapped on a cube and converted into a VR.

Q: How long does it take to create a VR?
A: Shooting the photos is rather quick, just a few minutes. However the post production work such as stitching, colour correction and enhancement takes plenty of time.

Q: There are other VR players like Quick Time, Java, IPIX, DevalVR, etc. Why don't you use those instead of Flash?
A: Flash is the most common plug-in for all web browsers and is usually already installed. This makes this site easily accessible to all visitors. Other plug-ins requires a user to download and install new software or add-ins just to enjoy the VRs.
