Tour Options

There are several options available to you when planning your Virtual Tour. We can guide you through the process of creating a package that suits your business and the location(s) you want to share.

Interactive Image

An Interactive Image is a single 360 image which allows the user to look at a single location. It works in the same way as a virtual tour and can have a customised user interface however it only shows one location. This is ideal if you have only one location you want to promote or you have very distinct locations that you would not want linked together. Interactive images also allow you to split locations across different pages of your website. Example of an Interactive Image

Virtual Tour

Virtual tours are in essence a collection of interactive images connected together via a user interface to give the user a first person tour of your business. We can create Virtual Tours to sit within your site or create entirely stand alone micro sites. Please see below for the different options that could be included in your Virtual Tour. Example of a Virtual Tour

* Hot Spots are special links which can be built into a Virtual Tour or Interactive Image. These links can display information and photographs as well as linking to other Interactive Images or parts of your own website.

* A Google Map Interface is a great way of linking virtual tours that are spread across a geographic location. In this example, Perth College UHI, the Google map gives the user a clear insight into how the campus is laid out and how the images relate to each other.

* A floor plan can give the user a greater understanding of how the images relate to the layout of your facilities. This is particularly useful for property developers.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What format are the files?

There are several different formats that we can deliver the files in. We usually recommend using Flash (SWF) files as over 98% of internet users have flash on their computers. Flash also does not require users to download any plug-ins before viewing your Virtual Tour.  We can discuss the best format for you and your situation when discussing the overall project.

Who hosts the files?

It’s entirely up to you. We can host the files and manage any updates/ changes, alternatively you have host the files on your server. Most virtual tours are supplied with 1 year free hosting.
