Video: "[Google] Tour creator lets you create your own VR tour." | Video Courtesy of Google YouTube Channel Hi All, I could imagine that at the 2018 Google Street View Summit, this will be one of the hot topics. Wow! Your thoughts? Best, Dan Mashable (9 May 2018) Google's new Tour Creator tool tries to make VR more accessible "To start, all you need is a few 360-degree photos, which you can upload from an existing camera or pull directly from Google's Street View catalog. From there, you can compose your "tour," while overlaying still images and text descriptions identifying specific points of interest," reports Mashable. "Google says they've also seen a lot of interest from the real estate industry, which, not surprisingly, likes the idea of adding easily embeddable 360-degree photos to listings." "Speaking of embeddable, the fact that everything built with Tour Creator is embeddable and shareable across the web is significant. Allowing the tours to be accessed and viewed outside the confines of a headset or Cardboard viewer, creates much more incentive for people to create the content in the first place."

| I just did a quick test and my initial impression is that this is no threat to MP. If nothing else, it might take away some business (if any) from other 360 tour creation tools. Schools will love it, as it's simple and limited in scope. Kudos to Google for their efforts in democratizing virtual tour authoring. I hope they keep adding features as it's pretty bare-bones now. https://vr.google.com/tourcreator/ P.S. During my quick experiment, my Chrome on Win10 failed repeatedly with WebGL. |
