360° Virtual Tour Software That Actually Works
Upload your panoramas, add interactive hotspots, and publish a professional 360° virtual tour in under 10 minutes. No technical skills needed. Trusted by real estate agents, hotels, and businesses across Africa.
What Is 360° Virtual Tour Software?
360° virtual tour software lets you take panoramic photographs of a property or space and stitch them into an interactive, walkable experience that anyone can explore from their phone or computer. Instead of sending a client 20 flat photos, you send them one link — and they feel like they're standing inside the space.
Viewora is a browser-based 360° virtual tour platform. You upload your panoramas, connect the rooms with navigation hotspots, add information points, and publish. The entire process takes minutes, not days. No software to install, no 3D scanner required — just a 360° camera or even a high-quality smartphone.

Core Features of Viewora's 360° Tour Software
Multi-Scene Tours with Navigation Hotspots
Connect multiple panoramas into a complete walkthrough. Place navigation arrows exactly where doors and passages are — viewers click through from room to room just like walking through the property in real life. The AI Auto-Link feature detects doorways in your panoramas automatically and suggests navigation hotspots, saving you hours of manual placement.
Interactive Information Hotspots
Drop info pins anywhere in the panorama to highlight features: room dimensions, material finishes, appliance brands, pricing, video walkthroughs, or external links. Every hotspot is fully customisable with labels, descriptions, images, and call-to-action buttons.
High-Resolution Tiled Panoramas
Viewora loads panoramas progressively using a tiled rendering system — the same technique used by Google Maps. Large 8K and 12K panoramas load fast on any connection because only the visible section downloads at full quality. Users on mobile data in Kenya still get a sharp, responsive experience.
Lead Capture Built In
Every tour includes an optional lead capture form. Capture visitor names, phone numbers, and email addresses directly from the tour without sending them to a separate website. Leads appear in your Viewora dashboard in real time.
Analytics Dashboard
See exactly how many people viewed each tour, which rooms they spent the most time in, and where they dropped off. Know which listings are attracting the most attention and follow up with the right buyers at the right time.
Instant Sharing — No App Required
Every Viewora tour has a shareable link that opens directly in any browser — no app download, no plugin, no friction. Share via WhatsApp, email, or embed the tour on your website with one line of code. The preview card with the panorama thumbnail appears automatically when shared on WhatsApp, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
