Hi
Being a squarespace user there are limitations to using a SP site Template.
Hosting VR tours is one of them.
A separate Sub domain is required to do so, and also at a cost.
How are being other companies doing this?
Thank you

Hi Phillip,
Outside of self hosting, there are lots of decent online hosting platform for VR Tours / 360º walkthroughs - Kuula, Theasys, theViewer are three which I've used commercially or tested with clients in the past. They're all fairly similar and each all have their pros and cons, and most offer a trial version before paying for a subscription so I'd suggest setting up an account and giving them a try to see how you get on.
Overall, I've probably seen the best results through theViewer - but it's also quite a pricey option.

Good korning
Just checking has anybody come across another VR hosting site for clients.
Some in the past have been very expensive, so looking for a econmical one to host on that lets you custiomise the preview from clinets for presentations.
Thank you
Phil

Webhosting with domain in your country(support for HTML, FTP access, 1/2/...GB space ) and krpano.com

You can host virtual tours via Chaos Cloud Collaboration, which is in the current RCs and dailies. See https://docs.chaos.com/display/VCLOUD/Virtual+Tours
You'll need to manually set up the hotspots once the images are uploaded (a future update will have automatic hotspot generation), but that's easy enough. Also if your aspect ratio is 2:1 (twice as wide as tall) they will automatically be set to panorama mode. You can upload manually (any Corona version), or from the VFB2 (Corona 12 Update 1 - note not HF 1, but Update 1 :) ).

Thank you Tom.

This is super cool Tom, but I just tried this out really crude and wanted to test what happened if I send the link to a colleague. He was still prompted to login to a Chaos account? Is it not possible to share the tour to people without them having to login?
-
Hmm, sharing the Virtual Tour to someone who isn't logged in works fine on my end.
When you go into the share settings for your particular Virtual Tour project make sure to set "Link Access" to "Anyone can view".
I think that should help but if it doesn't please let us know.
-
You need to adjust the permissions of your project in Chaos Cloud - set those to Anyone can view or Anyone can comment, and then the project can be shared without any login (and can be embedded on any website, which is what I did on the simple example I created that appears embedded on https://www.chaos.com/corona/whats-new . Hope this helps!

PS don't use "anyone can comment" if the link or an embed is to appear on a general web page, as you'll just get flooded with random passerby comments lol :) But you can use anyone can comment if the link is only between you, your team, and your direct customer and won't be shared / used elsewhere. "Anyone can view" is the setting I used in the embedded example.
