Frequently Asked Questions

A 360º VR picture is a representation of a space that is comprised of images photographed in all directions. With a dual lens camera, two images captured in opposing directions are combined to make a single “equirectangular” view which is then “pasted” onto the inside of a sphere and viewed from the center. This is similar to the way flat maps of the world relate to world globes.

A 360º VR Experience is a collection of 360º VR images, usually related to an event or a place. Often, the images are linked to each other to provide the viewer with multiple vantage points of the same subject or to provide a guided tour within a location or across a landscape of adjacent places.

Orbix360º custom social sharing features let you create beautiful posts on social media that link directly to your galleries.

You can also share links directly to your 360º VR images via email, or embed the Orbix360º VR viewer right into your own website with very little technical knowledge.

Assuming you have a 360º VR camera, all you need to get started is a smartphone. Upload your 360° images directly from your phone. Preview your presentation from anywhere, with a VR headset, a computer screen, a phone, and even the Orbix360º community wall.

Hot-Spots are small links that you can add to a collection of 360º VR images that invite the viewer to click and move from one image to another. By linking alternate views of the same subject or connected rooms in a building, you can build your story to make a virtual tour or memory lane.

With a pro subscription you can guide viewers to your site by placing your own logo, with a link to your website, directly on your 360º VR galleries.
