some places are so beautiful that it's really not enough to take just one 360
photo. Hi my name is Mic and in this tutorial
I'm gonna show you how to create an easy and free virtual tour with
Veer Experience. With this easy and free virtual tour you'll won't need to have your
own server you don't even need to install software. So whether for business
or for fun we're going to learn how to create an easy and free virtual tour
today and I'll show you how. Hi my name is Mic and
you're watching 360 Rumors, the resource that 360 shooters trust for in-depth
camera reviews and innovative techniques. To create the virtual tour all we need to
do is go to Veer, log in to my account, and then click on upload in the upper
right corner then I click on create interactive experience. then I can click
on the plus sign to begin adding the photos. so I add my first photo, click
on open then it's gonna start loading it. then I click on add scene on the upper
left corner to add the next scene (360 photo), let's say this one. And another photo up there.
So after the photos have been uploaded you can drag this to reorder them. If
you want a simple virtual tour, this is actually ready because when you click on
preview you can see that there will be scenes here so your viewer can jump from
scene to scene. But if you want to add hotspots it's very easy to do that.
just click on hotspot right here and then move the hotspot where you want it
to be. let's say we want the hotspot to be over here in this area. you can
resize it and then you can specify what will happen when you click on that
hotspot, so it goes to the lagoon. you could call this "lagoon" and click on this
checkbox so that the label shows up. we can add another hotspot for the pool
then we just add hot spots for the other scenes as well.
There! so once you've added the hot spots then can do a preview and you can see
that there will be hot spots and when your viewer clicks on them it transports
them to the scene or does whatever action you specified for that hot spot.
once you're done adding your hot spots then click on done then you can give a
title to your virtual tour. create the thumbnail for it, click on change and
then wait for it to load the photo so you can pick a screenshot. so let's say here.
take a screenshot and that will be our thumbnail for the the virtual tour. then
you can add the tags that you want. you can specify the privacy and
then click on publish and you're done. once the virtual tour is published you
can share the link by posting it on Facebook. I can paste the link to it and
it automatically shows a thumbnail for the virtual tour. you can also embed this
virtual tour on your website or blog. you can click on share click on embed and
copy that link (the HTML iframe tags). go to the HTML section of your web page,
paste it and you should see the virtual tour. and the virtual tour is there. so if
you're a real estate agent and your MLS supports external links you can add that
URL and share it on your MLS to post the virtual tour to your MLS listing.
what if you wanted to change a few things with a virtual tour? well it's
easy to do that. Go back to your list of photos and videos on Veer and then
click on this edit icon. and then it'll bring it to this next
screen where you can click on edit scene and hot spot. and you'll see that editing
screen just like before. when you're editing the virtual tour, you can do
other things, for example you can add background music. so you click on
background music select a file and let it load so your viewers will be able to
hear background music when they watch your virtual tour like that. another
thing you can do is add these information cards. so the cards can
contain information or text or links so for example here I would add a photo of a
sea turtle that we found so it could say ok and then save there. and another type
of information card is an external link so for example if I wanted to add
information about the camera that I used I can add a link to my site.
And add "more info" and then you could put the teaser message. when a
viewer views the virtual tour they can see this hotspot that I created and it's
going to create a pop-up that shows a photo with more information and in this
case a link to an external website. so that could be a link to your
store or to an item on Amazon. a third thing that you can do when you're editing is
to turn this virtual tour into kind of like a slideshow, almost like a movie and
here's how to do it. it's really easy. just click on edit and set the duration for
each point so let's say 15 seconds and then you can specify what happens at the
end of that time period so it goes to next
scene. and this one we're gonna do the same thing and go to the next scene. now
if you press preview then this time you'll see that there's like a timeline
at the bottom. it's almost like a video so at the end of that time it's going to
automatically move to the next scene. if you change your mind and you want to
remove that timeline just click on edit and then click on that duration and
click on that little X. do the same for the other one and the timeline is
gone. when you're finished editing, click on done and click on publish. So as you saw it's
really easy to create a virtual tour on Veer Experience. but you may be wondering, is
it really free? I mean what's the catch? so I spoke to Veer and tried to find out
really what's going on. so basically they said that the basic
features that you saw -- the ones that you I've shown in this video -- are always
going to be free. Now in the future they're gonna add more advanced features
and they're hoping that you're gonna upgrade and pay for that upgrade so yes
those advanced features will cost something. But the features you saw
will always remain free and they've assured me of that. so to get started,
check out the link in the description below. I've also included a link to
the sample virtual tour that we just need so you can check it out for yourself.
thanks for watching and I'll see you in 360!
