How to create a 360° virtual tour of your showroom
You can have a first tour live in an afternoon if the photographs are ready. This page lays out the steps, the exact image requirements and a checklist to run before you publish.
The unknowns are the photographs and the structure
Most delays come from not knowing what image format is needed, how many scenes to capture or how to link them sensibly.
A short, concrete process
Plan the route, shoot 2:1 equirectangular panoramas, upload, connect the scenes, add products, preview and publish.
A synthetic sample for demonstration. It is not a real business. Open full screen
2:1 ratio · 2048 px minimum width · 50 MB maximum.
What you can do
Upload checks
Format, minimum width, size and 2:1 ratio are verified, with plain messages about anything wrong.
Visual connection
Click the doorway to create a link.
Preview
Walk the tour as a visitor before publishing.
Publish checks
Errors block publishing; warnings are advice.
How it works
Plan the route
List the areas and choose the opening scene.
Photograph
Capture each area as a 2:1 equirectangular panorama at a steady, eye-level height.
Check files
JPEG, PNG or WebP, at least 2048 px wide (up to 16384), up to 50 MB, ratio 2:1.
Upload and connect
Add the scenes, name them and link them by clicking doorways and paths in the panorama.
Tag products
Place hotspots on the items you want visitors to open, linked to your catalogue.
Preview and publish
Walk the tour as a visitor, resolve any flagged problems, then publish a shareable link.
Where it fits
Do it yourself
Use a 360° camera or stitching workflow.
Hire a photographer
Send them the requirements.
Managed setup
Have the Immersiq team build it for you.
Benefits
- Clear requirements before you shoot
- Problems explained at upload, not after
- A first tour in an afternoon is realistic once photographs exist
Limitations to know about
- The checker validates shape, not whether an image is truly spherical, so use Preview
- Photography quality determines tour quality
- Stitching and editing are outside Immersiq
