Im hoping that Expeditions Pro is available to the general public in time for the next school year since Im thrilled to see what teachers and trainees will make with it.

Unfortunately, at the end of June Google is closing the doors on
Tour Creator. Im bummed about it due to the fact that it is one of my preferred development tools. There are some business working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. One of those business is
Explorations Pro..

Explorations Pro is still in beta however I got to attempt it out previously today. My preliminary impression of it is that it will be an excellent replacement for Tour Creator as soon as all of the quirks are exercised..
When I first signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the resemblance to Tour Creators user interface. The procedure of creating a VR tour in Expeditions Pro is very comparable to that of Tour Creator. You merely choose a cover image, title your tour, then start to include scenes. Adding scenes is much like including slides to a slideshow except that instead of adding standard images you submit 180 or 360 degree panoramic images..
When you use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, expeditions Pro supports the use of zip files that are created. I d advise doing that prior to Google shutters Tour Creator at the end of the month. (Heres a video about how to use Google Takeout)..
Applications for Education.
When Expeditions Pro leaves beta and appears to the general public, I believe that it will be a fantastic alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Students will be able to utilize it to create their virtual truth tours about local history, about books, about geography, about geology, and many other interesting subjects.
