Creating a virtual tour involves several key steps:
- Capturing the Images: High-quality 360-degree cameras or multiple images taken at different angles are used to capture the entire location. These images are then stitched together to form a seamless panorama.
- Enhancing the Experience: Additional elements, such as audio, video, text, and interactive hotspots, can be added to provide users with more information and create a richer, more engaging experience.
- Navigating the Virtual World: Virtual tour software allows users to navigate the environment by clicking on hotspots, using on-screen controls, or even by physically moving within the space when using a virtual reality headset.
- Sharing the Experience: Virtual tours can be hosted on websites, shared on social media platforms, or even embedded within emails, making it easy for users to access and explore the virtual environment.
