Sadly, at the end of June Google is closing the doors on
Tour Creator. There are some business working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator.
Explorations Pro..

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

There are some companies working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. The procedure of creating a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is extremely similar to that of Tour Creator. Expeditions Pro supports the use of zip files that are produced when you utilize 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.

Expeditions Pro is still in beta but I got to try it out previously today. My initial impression of it is that it will be an excellent replacement for Tour Creator as soon as all of the peculiarities 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 producing a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is extremely similar to that of Tour Creator. You simply choose a cover image, title your trip, then begin to add scenes. Including scenes is much like including slides to a slideshow other than that rather of including standard images you upload 180 or 360 degree breathtaking images..
When you use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, explorations Pro supports the usage of zip files that are developed. In fact, I d advise doing that before Google shutters Tour Creator at the end of the month. (Heres a video about how to utilize Google Takeout)..
Applications for Education.
Once Expeditions Pro leaves beta and becomes readily available to the general public, I think that it will be a great alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Trainees will have the ability to use it to create their virtual truth trips about local history, about books, about location, about geology, and numerous other intriguing topics.
