There are some business working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. The process of creating 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 use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files. I d suggest doing that before Google shutters Tour Creator at the end of the month.

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

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 worked out..
When I first signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the similarity to Tour Creators interface. The procedure of developing a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is really comparable to that of Tour Creator. You just pick a cover image, title your trip, then start to include scenes. Adding scenes is much like including slides to a slideshow other than that rather of adding standard images you submit 180 or 360 degree scenic images..
When you use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, explorations Pro supports the usage of zip files that are developed. 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.
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 have the ability to use it to produce their virtual reality tours about local history, about books, about geography, about geology, and numerous other interesting topics.

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