Design & branding
Virtual Tours should feel like a natural extension of your museum and exhibition. We start by aligning the application with your organization’s visual identity, from colors and typography to icons and interface elements. Once this foundation is in place, each tour can be styled further to reflect the exhibition’s own design.
360° photography
Every Virtual Tour starts with high-quality 360° photography. Each space is captured using specialized equipment and a workflow designed for museum environments. In post-production, images are stitched, corrected, and optimized. When needed, we can discreetly remove critical infrastructure elements such as security cameras.
Accessibility for everyone
Virtual Tours are designed with inclusivity in mind, ensuring that every visitor can access, understand, and enjoy your stories. The interface supports clear navigation, scalable UI elements, transcripts and captions for all media. Multi-language support, including sign languages, ensures accessibility for diverse audiences. All tours follow WCAG guidelines and the principles of the European Accessibility Act, delivering an inclusive experience across devices and abilities.
Viewing modes
Virtual Tours automatically adjust to fit various screen sizes and device capabilities, whether on desktop, tablet, or mobile. On mobile devices, gyroscope support lets visitors look around simply by moving their phone. For an even more immersive experience, visitors can switch to VR mode with a split-screen view—no additional hardware required.
