Expeditions Pro is still in beta but I got to attempt it out earlier today. My preliminary impression of it is that it will be an excellent replacement for Tour Creator as soon as all of the peculiarities are worked out..
When I initially signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the resemblance to Tour Creators user interface. The process of producing a VR tour in Expeditions Pro is very similar to that of Tour Creator.
Explorations Pro supports the usage of zip files that are produced when you use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files. I d suggest doing that before Google shutters Tour Creator at the end of the month. (Heres a video about how to utilize Google Takeout)..

When Expeditions Pro leaves beta and appears to the public, I believe that it will be an excellent alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Trainees will be able to use it to produce their virtual reality trips about local history, about books, about geography, about geology, and numerous other interesting subjects.

There are some companies working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. The procedure of developing a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is really comparable to that of Tour Creator. Expeditions Pro supports the use of zip files that are developed when you use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files. I d advise doing that prior to Google shutters Tour Creator at the end of the month.

Sadly, at the end of June Google is closing the doors on
Trip Creator. Since it is one of my favorite production tools, Im bummed about it. Luckily, there are some companies working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. One of those companies is
Explorations Pro..

Im hoping that Expeditions Pro is readily available to the general public in time for the next academic year because Im excited to see what students and teachers will make with it.
