In 3DVista, the “Photos” feature allows you to manage and edit photo albums within your virtual tour project. Photo albums can be used to showcase additional images related to your panoramas, such as detail shots or various angles. They can also be used to add interactivity to your virtual tour by allowing users to browse through a gallery of images.
