A Virtual Tour in Andalucia, Spain, including, Granada, the Alhambra, Ronda, Arcos de la Frontera and Sevilla.
A Virtual Tour of Sandy Hook Bay and Sandy Hook Gateway National Park, throughout the seasons between 2003 -2009.
A Virtual Tour of an Old Mill House, North Carolina, visit the Rooms, the Porch, the Old Mill, and the Dam and River that fed the Mill.

Hey Brian!
There are some heavy faults in your ICA tour. Care for the projection-mode - choose "planar" when you use non-equirectangular images of spheres.
The "Old Mill House" i broke - extremely long loading time (though i have a 16MBit cable connection).

Is this a post apocalypse movie?
Where are the people?

You put usual photos in the "Virtual Tour" slot - that´s irritating.
All in all very confusing, i must say. You should think about reorganizing the structure.

I would not say heavy faults, although I agree there are some and I think a discussion about correcting faults would be useful and more tools to help with that too. I was gald to see this topic was tackled in the recent book "Mastering Panoramic Photography" by Harald Woeste
see http://www.rockynook.com/books/27.html
I have decided to go with a work in progress approach rather than be a pixel perfectionist at this stage and to go for an impressionist approach!
The Mill House was made with an early version of APT, but works for me on 1Mb DSL in the USA. I have noticed performance issues even with the current version of APT see more at http://www.autopano.net/forum/t8037-apt-a-performance.

Not sure what you mean, all the tours except the mill have some people in somewhere. I would say that your criticism would be out of place if applied to landscape or architectural photography, which is the subject matter of many of my panoramas.

All the photos are panoramic to a degree in that they are composite images and not normal aspect ratios, many are 360 degrees. In the ICA tour I did use a mixture of image types as an experiment. I think the difficulty comes in mixing horizontal and vertical panoramas and in setting up the camera positions in APT which I have yet to refine in those cases. I am interested in other examples, that move beyond just linking of 360 degree views.

In this pano the first and the last node are "flat" pictures - all others are spheres:

In APT you have to tell the editor wether a picture is a planar-projection or a spherical projection.
An equirectangular picture for using as a sphere has to be 2:1 - that´s essential.

Thanks Klaus, I had not noticed this new projection option in APT 1.10 Beta6, it's not in APT 1.0.6. I will try that first with the ICA Tour and see how it works.
I am not sure I agree with you that any panorama that is not equirectangular should be in a planer projection. For example a panorama of say 120 degrees FoV wide works in spherical projection depending on the vertical FoV say 15 - 60 degrees. However I will try some in planer to compare and see if there is an improvement or not.
