Creating a virtual tour - how it works

You can create a virtual tour yourself using various apps. For this you need a smartphone or even better a 360-degree Kemra. The app will automatically create a 360-degree view for you after you take the picture.

Before creating: what exactly is a virtual tour?

A virtual tour is a 360-degree image of a room or other environment. Embedded on a website, a wrap-around view allows the viewer to navigate through the recorded space and view it from all perspectives. A well-known example of a virtual tour is Google Street View.

How to create a virtual tour

If you would like to create a virtual tour for your company's website or also for private reasons, the use of an app is an option. All you need is a smartphone with a camera and, for example, the "Google Street View" app. This is available for iOS and Android.

1. Download the Google Street View app from the App Store or Google Play on your smartphone.
2. Now go to the room of which you want to make a 360-degree recording and look for a place as central as possible.
3. Click on the camera icon and start to create the virtual tour.
4. Richten Sie die Kamera immer nach den orangenen Punkten aus, die Ihnen in der App angezeigt werden.
5. Sie werden sich in den meisten Fällen mehrmals drehen müssen, damit die App alle nötigen Aufnahmen anfertigen kann.
6. Abschließend erstellt die App für Sie den virtuellen Rundgang.
