Regretfully, at the end of June Google is closing the doors on
Trip Creator. Im bummed about it because it is among my preferred development tools. Luckily, there are some companies dealing with making options 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 since Im delighted to see what students and instructors will make with it.

There are some companies working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. The process of developing a VR tour in Expeditions Pro is very comparable to that of Tour Creator. Explorations Pro supports the use of zip files that are created 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.

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 exceptional replacement for Tour Creator when all of the peculiarities are exercised..
When I first signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the similarity to Tour Creators user interface. The procedure of producing a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is very similar to that of Tour Creator. You just select a cover image, title your trip, then begin to include scenes. Including scenes is much like including slides to a slideshow except that rather of including basic images you submit 180 or 360 degree scenic images..

Applications for Education.
Once Expeditions Pro leaves beta and becomes available to the basic public, I believe that it will be an excellent alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Students will be able to utilize it to produce their virtual truth tours about local history, about books, about location, about geology, and lots of other intriguing topics.
