In order to create a 360 virtual tour, you need to have a camera that captures video and imagery in 360. 360 or immersive content is video and imagery where a view in every direction is captured at the same time, providing a 360-degree panorama.
As virtual tours become increasingly popular, it is now also easier than ever to shoot super high quality 360 content and help prospective customers visualise a space. It’s a good idea to go with a camera that you can attach to a phone, as that makes it easier to upload and also does the stitching for you. Here are some of our favourite options:
