What is 360 virtual tour photography?
Virtual tour photography is the perfect way to show people around your location, no matter where they are in the world. ExplorAR is a virtual tour company offering market-leading innovations that stand head and shoulders above the rest. Take a look below at our virtual tours examples to see what we offer.
360 virtual tours allow users to digitally explore your location. This has all sorts of benefits, such as building trust with potential customers, showing prospective visitors around a site, or improving accessibility for difficult-to-reach locations.
Virtual tours are based on 360 degree panoramas, which users can spin around using their finger or mouse. They're web-based, meaning they'll work on whatever device people are using: smartphone, tablet, laptop, or virtual reality headset. They're also great for touchscreen displays at your venue.
Unlike most 360 virtual tour providers that simply let the user look around, ExplorAR is a virtual tour company that specialises in producing a wide variety of interactive elements that not only impress users but make the 360 tour engaging and fun - from quizzes and children's games to interactive 'before and after' images.
Why use ExplorAR?
First and foremost, ExplorAR virtual tours have an incredible level of interactivity you won't find in any of our
competitors. Take a look below to see our examples.
Virtual tours allow potential visitors and customers to take a look around your venue. It's your virtual
shop window, so you want your venue to look its best. That's where we come in.
There are lots of virtual tour providers out there, so what makes us different?
High Quality
Many virtual tour companies aren't photographers; instead, they use a low-resolution one-shot system that
takes the picture in one go and then automatically stitches it together.
Each of our 360 panoramas is stitched together from 54 separate images at three different exposures to
ensure we capture every detail. We'd be amazed if there's anyone shooting at a higher resolution than us.
Shot on top-end Canon DSLR cameras, our virtual tours will show off your location's best side, no matter which
direction the user looks. But
don't take our word for it: take a look at the virtual
tour examples below.
Engaging
We're certified web developers, meaning we've got the skills to add a huge range of bespoke interactivity to
your images.
Many of our virtual tour company competitors only offer boring hotspots in their 360 images, such as text, videos or pictures.
Our virtual tours go a lot further than that.
Picture galleries and audio to children's treasure hunts and inline video: if you can imagine it then we
can make it. We can even let people tag themselves in your 360 images - great for large events.
We've added a selection of virtual tour examples
below that show a small handful of the kinds of interactivity we offer.
Affordable
Our 360 virtual tours are 'cross platform', meaning that we build it once and it works across any type of
device - which keeps the cost down for you. It will work on mobile phones, tablets, laptops and virtual
reality VR headsets, all with an interface customised with your branding and logo.
We're also very flexible: we don't follow a one-size-fits-all policy but can tailor the virtual tour to your
needs and budget - from one simple panorama up to a huge tour with interactive videos, audio and even a
database
and CMS. Whatever your needs, our coding skills mean we can build it.
