There are so many possible areas of business for a virtual tour. Hopefully the information here will give you an idea of what can be done and the features available.
Hospitality
From pubs to clubs, cafes to 5 star restaurants, holiday homes to hotels a virtual tour can benefit your business. A bespoke virtual tour can be customised with any content you like but here are a few ideas:
- Menus.

- Atmospheric audio – sound effects, background music.
- 360 video – if you want to be in the tour as an interactive element we can record you speaking about a product, service or whatever you like. You can then be added virtually into the tour.
- Video projection – Do you have video screens in your venue or business property and play promotional videos? We can include these videos virtually in the tour as though the screens are actually displaying the video.
- Floorplan – we can build a floorplan of your premises and display it within the tour, showing the user where they are at any given time. Perfect for holiday homes.
- Day/night transition – Show how your venue looks during the day and switches gear for nightlife entertainment. As the user looks around the scene will smoothly change from day to night. Perfect for bars and clubs, wedding venues with multi use rooms etc. Add some atmospheric audio to really impress potential customers.
- Virtual Tour Viewing Station – (coming soon) For larger hotels and venues. This will provide you with a mounted tablet for you to place in public areas of your venue. Allow customers to explore what your hotel rooms look like, facilities you have such as a pool, gym etc. Take it one step further and use it to direct patrons to their room. Add this to having the tour accessible via your website and they can explore from their own device during their stay.
- Web links – link to any web site for further information etc
