They asked me if I'd like to be one of their first 360 photographers in Brussels for their next Google Maps Business Views photography project. As a journalist I did&nbsp; feel the crisis, so earning some real money by the side did interest me. And while I didn't know a lot of 360 photography I agreed to step into this new challenge. Now I am running a business where I do panoramic Virtual Tours for the Google Business Program in Belgium. All businesses with a free online Google profile can come to my <a title="Business photography in Brussels" href="http://www.bizbuzz.be" target="_blank">new website Bizbuzz</a> and make an appointment for a Business View. In a few weeks the interior of their hotel, shop, office, or venue can be online for the entire world. In New York this is common for all businesses, but in Europe the project just started up. That is also why some of you already some some new 3D projects. I intend to use the technique also in journalistic ways. Journalism is becoming more and more an -experience business- so I will be trying to sell journalistic slideshow and QVR movies to online media in the near future. Google Views is the platform for this. For more info, just comment please or fill in the form. <h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size:1em;">Related articles</h6><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://connect.dpreview.com/post/9183386807/koci-life-google-glass" target="_blank">Photojournalist gives new perspective on Google Glass</a> (connect.dpreview.com)</li></ul></div></div>

<div></div><div> Well, probably while it is the 'Grote Markt', the center of Brussels, the main tourist attraction, and when future visitors (tourists) check out Brussels online, </div>
<div> they often end up visiting Brussels using Google Maps. Exploring the Grote Markt can be done by using Street View, Panoramio, and now even better: </div>
<div> Using <a title="Google photographer Brussels" href="https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/108432031207545988288/749c70bea47a27c2/dm5BZM7-qd8AAAQJOFjIOA" target="_blank">Google View</a>s. </div>
<div></div><div> Did you know these panoramas can be made commercially too? </div>
<div> You now can hire a photographer (like me) and let him produce a professional 360 of your business (shop, hotel, B&amp;B), and let him upload it to Views. </div>
<div> Of course you can try this yourself too, but the shere quality when using a professional pays of. </div>
<div> You pano will be on Google Views, and (when approved) it can show up in Google Maps too. A great way to communicate with future clients, </div>
<div> and to show off your beautiful business. </div><div></div><div></div></div></div>
