Creating Virtual Tours

In Planoplan, you can create spherical 360° panoramas and combine them into virtual tours. A panorama allows you to view an interior from a fixed camera point in all directions. A virtual tour lets you navigate between several panoramas within the same project, as if walking through the space.

The option to combine 360 panoramas into a virtual tour becomes available in the project gallery when viewing a panorama. Activating this option opens the virtual tour setup window.

Creating a Virtual Tour

1. Make sure you have at least two panoramas rendered in UHD 4K or UHD 8K.
2. In the gallery, select the first panorama and click «Create a Tour».

This opens the virtual tour setup window. All changes are saved automatically. To exit, click the X in the top-right corner.
