Sadly, at the end of June Google is closing the doors on
Trip Creator. Because it is one of my preferred creation tools, Im bummed about it. There are some business working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. Among those business is
Expeditions Pro..

Expeditions Pro is still in beta however I got to attempt it out earlier today. My preliminary impression of it is that it will be an excellent replacement for Tour Creator once all of the quirks are exercised..
When I initially signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the resemblance to Tour Creators interface. The process of producing a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is really comparable to that of Tour Creator. You simply select a cover image, title your tour, then begin to include scenes. Including scenes is similar to including slides to a slideshow except that rather of including standard images you publish 180 or 360 degree panoramic images..
When you utilize Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, explorations Pro supports the usage of zip files that are produced. I d suggest 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 think that it will be a terrific alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Students will have the ability to use it to develop their virtual truth trips about regional history, about books, about location, about geology, and many other intriguing topics.

Im hoping that Expeditions Pro is available to the basic public in time for the next school year since Im delighted to see what instructors and trainees will make with it.
