Getting Started – Adding Your First Panorama

Overview

ThreeSixty Tours has three components: Viewer, Editor, and Dashboard. The Viewer lets the world see, navigate and share your panoramas and tours. The Editor lets you edit, annotate and connect your panoramas into tours. The Dashboard provides account, panorama, and tour management.

ThreeSixty Tours viewer was designed to be flexible and can be used to display tours or individual panoramas. Tours are groups of linked panoramas and have a many-to-many relationship. Meaning, a single panorama can be used in more than one tour and/or displayed on its own.
