VR Tours
Encourage the Community to Collaborate
Whatever your community, town, or city has to offer, there’s a tour in there somewhere. Tours that get people out into the fresh air again, tours that they can follow on their personal phones/tablets, or devices provided/leased from the community. Or tours that shut-ins, elderly, or hospitalized members can view and enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of their homes or facilities.
Think about designing your own city maps. Personalized tour maps that do not rely on saturated “big tech” maps with hundreds of expensive “pins”. Engage local enterprises, churches, or non-profits to get involved. Once created, tours can be expanded and augmented via menus and other tour elements. And all of it is interactive and user-friendly. There’s even language support in the latest software versions.
Community outings encourge community spirit.

Community Outings
Motivate your community to get out in the fresh air by promoting informative and engaging VR tours.
Design digital tours of historical sites crawl, or make a game of it with scavenger hunts.
These types of tours can be enjoyed within the confines of someone’s home or for the elderly with mobility issues. (Interactive VR Tour.)
Interactive Virtual Tours
Interactive Virtual Tours is a software service focusing on visual enrichment to our client’s website and is applicable to just about any industry. Virtual tours are more appealing and detailed than traditional photography or videos because they engage the visitor and are interactive.
From anywhere in the world, visitors can immerse themselves in your location, while interacting with a tour and provide them with the sense that they are in control of what they want to see.
In fact, photographs, videos, text, interviews, audio, downloadable pdfs, information pop-ups, and more can be incorporated into a virtual tour.
If for any reason your device has any problems viewing or interacting with these tours, please feel free to let us know via our contact us page.
Navigating the Tour
Once you begin this tour by moving around or clicking on a pop-up, background music will be activated. For now, it’s Bach. It could be anything, but royalties will apply and need to be purchased. By clicking on the “sound” icon (pull-out menu on the right), you can mute the background music.
As will all the full tours on this site, each node is visible from 360 x 180. The nadir view (down), which normally shows the tripod, has been either patched with surrounding material, a logo, or some other object (mirror ball, etc.).
This particular skin is set up with pull-out menus on the left and right of the screen. Above the menu buttons, are active LEFT and RIGHT change node arrows. Embedded in the nodes are; the next node, pdf, video, info, photo, etc., pop-up elements. So, you’ll need to move around each panorama to view them all.
The left menu pull-out has information, node thumbnail, map, and social media buttons. The information button will show additional text for each panorama if it has been included. The thumbnail button shows a condensed view of ALL the nodes in the tour, with a check mark if you have already visited that node. The map button is incorporated specifically for the client (Maps). There’s no reason to pay and share a map with competitors and hundreds of other businesses.
The right menu pull-out options will differ depending on how you are viewing the tour. At a minimum the speaker (mute on/off) button and view full-screen toggle buttons are visible. If you have a device with VR capabilities, a VR button will be visible.
The panoramas with videos or web pop-up buttons will open within the tour or can be opened to an external tab.
You will note that the tour is also responsive. Depending on your device, embedded elements, text, and menu locations will move or adjust to the screen size. There are limits though. So let me know if there is an issue with anything, I’d appreciate it.
This is one bug that I have to fix – on the Main Building panorama, an embedded mp4 video doesn’t close right, you’ll have to refresh the page to clear it. My bad…
