Virtual Tours

From within a project, go to the Create virtual tour button and name your new virtual tour.

You can now upload files by either drag and drop, or from the Upload button, to add to the virtual tour. 

From the three dot menu, you can access the File info option, which opens the Information panel.

This panel contains information about the date of creation, size, format and creator of the file.

Panorama mode – When in this mode, panorama images are displayed like such. When switched off, the panorama image appears flat. Equirectangular/spherical panoramas, cube and stereo panoramas (left-right & top-down types) are supported in this mode. 

Premultiplied alpha – Marks the uploaded image as an image with premultiplied alpha and visualizes it as such.

From the Edit button, you can start editing all of the files added to this virtual tour project.

The files will load in the editor, and two options will become available to choose from - Hotspots and Highlights.

Hotspots are navigational elements placed inside the image that help the viewer "move" between the images.

To add a hotspot, you can drag an image from the gallery onto the opened image; click on the opened image or use the Add button.

You can change the Target image from the drop-down.

Title – Add a title for the hotspot. You can adjust its visibility later.

Title Visibility – Select a visibility option: On hover, Always or Not visible.

You can choose from a range of icon and color options and adjust the size of the hotspot.

Save the hotspot from the Save button or the check icon on the image.

Immersive Panorama Transitions

To automatically adjust the orientation when moving from one panorama to another using a hotspot, make two hotspots in the two panoramas that are cross linked. This way the movement will seem as if the viewer is moving forward through the space.

If there is no two-way link between panoramas or you are using the gallery to move to a new panorama, it will be opened with it's default orientation.

Highlights allow you to add contextual detail and design options for your virtual tour. You can fill them with a textual description, image attachments, and links to express your design ideas.

You can use the Add button to create a new highlight or click anywhere in the image with the tag pointer.

The title, description, and any image attachments will be shown in the highlight bubble.

You can choose from a range of icon and color options and adjust the size of the highlight.

You can set any flat image as a floor plan. Use the three dot menu on the file card (in Folder view) and find the option Set as floor plan.

Once you do that, a Floor plan tag will appear on the image file.

You can remove the setting from the same place - Unset floor plan.

To make the floor plan interactive and add a mini map to your virtual tour, link the panorama files to the correct place in the floor plan by using hotspots.

Once you link the panoramas, a mini-map will appear at the bottom right. Moving between the spaces will make the mini map indicate where you are located on the floor plan.

You can also open the Floor plan at any time and move through spaces by using the hotspots there. Use the map icon () to open the Floor plan.
