INTEGRATION OPTIONS
|
|
VRX Hotel Content can be integrated into web sites by using a combination of
integration options: Quick Integration, which allows a hotel to quickly and
efficiently add a complete, one-page, visual description of their property, and
Recommended Integration, which allows a hotel webmaster to enhance existing
hotel web site content with VRX content.
Quick Integration
Quick Integration displays on one page all Maps, Virtual Tours and Still Images
that visually describe a hotel. This integration option is appealing to hotels
who want to showcase photographs on one page only, or hotels that have minimal
time or webmaster resources.
A hotel web site visitor need only click one link to display all VRX content
that describes that hotel property. To see an example of Quick Integration,
visit the web site of the
Melrose Hotel in Washington DC and click on Virtual Tours from the home
page.
Recommended Integration
Recommended Integration enables a hotel to integrate each VRX Virtual Tour,
Still Image, and Map separately throughout a hotel web site, to enhance
existing text for each hotel. Of course, Recommended Integration can also be
combined with Quick Integration if the hotel so desires.
Recommended Integration uses hyperlinks, icons,
and thumbnails. These three options, and combinations of
options, allow VRX clients to incorporate VRX virtual tours, while maintaining
the integrity of the layout and design of their web sites.
The following paragraphs offer explanations and examples of how each format can
be used to incorporate virtual tours and interactive maps into your web site.

Hyperlink Format

A hyperlink is a highlighted text caption that links your web
site visitors to a virtual tour of an attraction. Examples are provided below.
The hyperlink format is ideal for web sites that are short on space. The
hyperlink format is also used by web sites that list several attractions within
the same paragraph.
To use the hyperlink format in your web site, simply use the
code that we send to you as the hyperlink for specific words or attractions
listed on your page.

Icon Format

Interactive Maps
|
|
Virtual tours can also be linked to a web site
using an icon. This is a convenient format when a web site page is short on
space, or on pages that feature many virtual tours.
You can use the icon that is provided by VRX Studios, or you
can create and use your own.

three sizes: small, standard and full. These thumbnails can be linked to a
virtual tour, and are easy to integrate with any web image.

Large: 263 pixels x 197 pixels

Integrating VRX Interactive Maps
|
|
VRX's new interactive maps are the perfect way to display and
organize virtual tours on your website.
VRX virtual tours are very easy to integrate into your web
site. VRX interactive maps organize virtual tours in a truly interactive
environment. You can control which virtual tours your web site visitors will
see. Your web site visitors are able to see where each attraction is located,
in relation to other attractions on the map.
Sample a selection of VRX interactive maps by clicking on the
icons shown above. Our rapidly expanding Image Archive features thousands of
stills, interactive maps and virtual tours from the Caribbean, the Bahamas,
Mexico, Hawaii and major North American and European cities.
