There are some companies working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. The procedure of developing a VR tour in Expeditions Pro is really 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.

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

Sadly, at the end of June Google is closing the doors on
Tour Creator. Due to the fact that it is one of my preferred development tools, Im bummed about it. Thankfully, there are some business working on making options to Googles Tour Creator. One of those companies is
Explorations Pro..

Expeditions Pro is still in beta but I got to try it out previously today. My preliminary impression of it is that it will be an outstanding replacement for Tour Creator as soon as all of the quirks are worked out..
When I initially signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the similarity to Tour Creators user interface. The process of producing a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is extremely similar to that of Tour Creator. You just choose a cover image, title your trip, then begin to add scenes. Including scenes is similar to including slides to a slideshow other than that rather of adding standard images you submit 180 or 360 degree breathtaking images..
When you utilize Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, expeditions Pro supports the usage of zip files that are created. 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 appears to the public, I believe that it will be a great alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Trainees will have the ability to utilize it to create their virtual truth tours about local history, about books, about location, about geology, and many other interesting topics.
