There are some companies working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator. The process of producing a VR tour in Expeditions Pro is very similar to that of Tour Creator. Expeditions Pro supports the usage of zip files that are developed when you utilize Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files. I d suggest doing that prior to Google shutters Tour Creator at the end of the month.

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

Expeditions Pro is still in beta but I got to attempt it out previously today. My initial impression of it is that it will be an exceptional 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 procedure of producing a VR trip in Expeditions Pro is extremely comparable to that of Tour Creator. You simply select a cover image, title your trip, then start to add scenes. Adding scenes is just like adding slides to a slideshow other than that rather of including standard images you publish 180 or 360 degree scenic images..
When you use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, explorations Pro supports the use of zip files that are produced. In reality, 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)..
Applications for Education.
When Expeditions Pro leaves beta and becomes readily available to the general public, I believe that it will be an excellent alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Students will have the ability to use it to develop their virtual truth trips about local history, about books, about geography, about geology, and numerous other fascinating subjects.

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