Explorations 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 when all of the peculiarities are worked out..
When I first signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the similarity to Tour Creators interface. The process of producing a VR tour in Expeditions Pro is really similar to that of Tour Creator. You merely select a cover image, title your trip, then start to add scenes. Adding scenes is much like including slides to a slideshow except that instead of adding standard images you upload 180 or 360 degree scenic images..
When you utilize Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, explorations 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 utilize Google Takeout)..

As soon as Expeditions Pro leaves beta and appears to the public, I think that it will be a great alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Trainees will be able to utilize it to develop their virtual reality trips about regional history, about books, about geography, about geology, and lots of other interesting topics.

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

Im hoping that Expeditions Pro is offered to the public in time for the next school year due to the fact that Im excited to see what instructors and trainees will make with it.
