Interactive virtual tours
A virtual tour is a real place, filmed or photographed in 360, that people explore for themselves: on the web or in a VR headset. We make them for retail, hospitality, and staff induction and training. We have made tours for Homesense, Mitie, Ashley College and Containerville.
What they are for
Knowing a place before you arrive
For Mitie we made a 360 induction tour, translated into several languages, to ease people into a new place and show them what to expect. A tour of Ashley College lets new pupils visit before they start, with a 360 guide to public transport for its students.
Showing how a place works
For ScreenSkills we worked on two BFI-funded 360 tours, of a working film set and a post-production house, made to show the next generation what goes on behind the camera.
Showing a space to the people who might use it
Containerville’s tour lets people who might work there explore its workspaces, built from upcycled shipping containers, before they visit.
Keeping a record of a place
For National Grid we photographed an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 360, as a record of it before its overhead power lines were buried.

Questions
- Where can people take a virtual tour?
- On the web or in a VR headset, whichever suits the people it is for.
- Can a tour be in more than one language?
- Yes. The induction tour we made for Mitie was translated into several languages, so that people new to a place could take it in their own language and know what to expect.
- Is a tour made from photos or video?
- Either. Containerville’s tour and National Grid’s record are 360 photography; Mitie’s induction tour and ScreenSkills’ film set are 360 video.
- Who are virtual tours for?
- Anyone who needs to know a place before they get there: shoppers and guests, new staff on their first day, new pupils, and people facing somewhere daunting. We make them for retail, hospitality, and staff induction and training.
