Regretfully, at the end of June Google is closing the doors on
Trip Creator. There are some companies working on making alternatives to Googles Tour Creator.
Expeditions Pro..

Expeditions 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 initially signed into my beta Expeditions Pro account I was struck by the similarity to Tour Creators user interface. The process of developing a VR tour 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. Adding scenes is similar to including slides to a slideshow except that rather of including basic images you submit 180 or 360 degree panoramic images..
When you use Google Takeout to download your Tour Creator files, explorations Pro supports the use of zip files that are created. I d suggest 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.
Once Expeditions Pro leaves beta and appears to the public, I believe that it will be a great alternative to Googles Tour Creator. Students will have the ability to use it to develop their virtual truth tours about regional history, about books, about geography, about geology, and many other interesting topics.

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