CloudPano: The Ultimate 360 Virtual Tour Software

Before we dive into the exciting details of the Side by Side feature, let’s get a quick overview of CloudPano itself. CloudPano.com is a top-notch 360 virtual tour software that empowers users to create interactive and immersive 360 media experiences. Whether you’re looking to craft captivating 360 tours for real estate listings, travel destinations, or any other purpose, CloudPano offers a seamless and integrated solution.

Introducing Side by Side: Elevating Virtual Tours

Now, let’s get to the heart of the matter – the Side by Side feature. Zach Calhoun takes us through this innovative addition to CloudPano’s arsenal, which allows users to display before-and-after images side by side within a single frame, complete with a slider to compare the two views.

Here’s how it works:

Accessing the Feature: After logging into your CloudPano editor, you’ll notice a familiar interface. However, there’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered – the Side by Side feature.

Creating a Comparison: Zach demonstrates how you can upload a pair of images – a “before” and an “after.” These could be images of a room renovation, landscaping changes, or any other transformation you want to highlight.

Enabling Side-by-Side: By selecting the Side by Side display type, you initiate the magic. The two images are merged into a single frame with a dividing line in the middle. This line serves as a slider, allowing viewers to effortlessly shift between the two views.

Unveiling Transformations: Zach illustrates the power of this feature using examples like showcasing an empty bedroom turning into a beautifully furnished space, or an outdated kitchen transforming into a modern culinary haven. The slider effect effectively communicates the impact of the changes, making it an ideal tool for architects, interior designers, and real estate professionals to impress their clients.

Publishing and Sharing: Once your virtual tour is ready, the Side by Side comparisons are ready to be unveiled to your audience. This feature not only works seamlessly on desktop but also provides a captivating experience on mobile devices.
