How Are 360 ° and 3D Virtual Tours Different?

Different Gravy Digital offer 3D & 360 ° Virtual Tours; both with their own advantages.

It’s important to understand the differences between both styles of Virtual Tours to have the greatest understanding of what will work best for your business.

360 ° Virtual Tours

This style uses images, taken from a high quality digital camera, that are stitched together to create a ‘bigger, wider image’ / Virtual Tour.

What Makes 360 ° Virtual Tours So Good?

• It’s a Google accredited product
• Businesses have the option to showcase their tours inside a Google Knowledge Card or on their website
• The process of creating a tour involves using single images, which can also be used in isolation; you have the option of sharing an image for 360 ° viewing or as a flat picture
• The images are owned by YOU; your business has full ownership

You Can Spread the Word!

360 ° images can be used offline, so you have the freedom to share snippets on Facebook (giving your business value within Google’s eco system). You could attract customers to your website by sharing your 360 ° Virtual Tour on social media platforms.

Be Creative!

We have 3rd party software ready and waiting so you can make your 360 ° Virtual Tour really come to life.

Here’s a few suggestions of how you can make the most out of your Tour;

• Incorporating a movie show reel
• Adding a menu option which leads viewers to different rooms or sections of the Virtual Tour
• Add pin points or tags to provide visitors with extra information

3D Virtual Tours

This style works in a similar way to 360 ° Virtual Tours, but there are some noticeable differences.

Unlike 360 Virtual Tours, the separate images aren’t pieced together after they’re shot. Each snap is stitched together automatically to create one big Virtual Tour.
