}}TourWrist is a free and open platform that empowers consumers and businesses to discover, shoot and share 360-degree panoramic images via computers, smartphones and tablets.[1] With a collection of over 30,000 panoramic images, TourWrist helps consumers make educated, location-oriented decisions by previewing immersive virtual tours of travel destinations, homes, businesses, schools and other points of interest.[2] The privately held San Francisco-based[3] company launched commercially in the first quarter of 2011.[4]

Technology and accessibility

Proprietary, patent-pending technology enables “TourWrists” to view, shoot, publish and share panoramas. The TourWrist platform consists of panoramic photography tools, back-end infrastructure and tour viewers. Businesses and consumers can upload panoramas to the platform’s back-end through the TourWrist app and third-party applications integrating the Publish to TourWrist API. The images are then processed, stored and delivered to websites and apps spanning mobile devices, tablets and computers in about ten minutes.[5]

The free app is available in the Apple iTunes App Store, with shooting capability on Apple iPhone 4 and Apple iPhone 4S.[6] The app, which has been downloaded more than 600,000 times,[7] converts phones and tablets into a movable window,[8] allowing “TourWrists” to “teleport” to distant environments.[9] TourWrist is the number one virtual tour viewing app in the iTunes Store. TourWrist also provides an HTML5 mobile-optimized web app for Android and Windows 7 devices.[10]

In July 2011, TourWrist released a free Publish to TourWrist API, which enables third-party developers and companies to integrate in panoramic apps, software and hardware.[11]

TourWrist is aggregating one of the world’s largest collections of geo-located virtual tours by acquiring content from:

  • consumers who upload from within the app
  • third-party companies that integrate the Publish the TourWrist API
  • professional panoramic photographers using the TourWrist content delivery network
  • large imports of existing panoramic databases[12]

TourWrist also owns and operates the world’s largest panoramic photography forum Panoguide.com.[13]
