360° virtual tours
adjective /ˈvɜː.tʃu.əl/ noun /tʊərz/
a simulation of an existing location, usually composed of a sequence of videos or still images. It may also use other multimedia elements such as sound effects, music, narration, and text.
We specialise in 360° virtual tours for schools.
Covid-19 brought to schools; staff absences, restricted areas, bubbles and even full school closures. These, along with government guidelines and time constraints, have meant that schools are much less able to provide traditional ‘open evenings’ and school tours.
At Company Ten we believe that the immersive experience of a 360° virtual tour, like the one below, is almost as good as the real thing. In some cases it might be even better! The process is really simple and the results are amazing, as you can see below.
The process goes like this; you ensure that your school is how you would like for it to be presented, we arrive and spend several hours with our Matterport™ camera - taking pictures of the whole school, then we put all of those pictures together in an interactive walk-through of your school. It’s even possible for us to tag blocks, rooms, artwork and notable parts of your school. We can even include video into the tour.
Why do schools need 360° Virtual Tours?
Some schools have tried to incorporate walk-around videos on Facebook live, or relied on a promotional video to inform prospective pupils and their parents about what a school is like on the inside. Many have decided to utilise live broadcasting and virtual tours - meaning they invite prospective students to a zoom call where they present a powerpoint.
The main benefit of virtual tours is the removal of face-to-face tours and having to clean each class room after each tour - to comply with the government guidelines and laws. Virtual tours (like the one here) are also created in such a way that a user can explore your school at their own leisure and the tour will remain an exciting addition to your school’s website for as long as the tour remains relevant.
Our 360° virtual tours are commonly combined with:
