How to add info spots and content spots to your 360 panoramas

This feature allows for the overlay of essential details, such as building names and descriptions directly onto interactive 360 panoramas. The result is an informative student experience, mirroring the familiar information overlays seen in online maps and street views.

Adding info spots to an existing panorama;

• Use this field to add information spots  to the 360 panorama.  Click ‘add row’ and select the content type you wish to use.

• Select the information option, you will then be prompted to add a header, description and icon for the hotspot. Information spots are limited to 150 characters and are designed to give small bits of information for elements within a 360 scene. They are opened within the 360 without the need for a modal overlay.

Adding an image and a link to an info spot

Info spots can now carry more than just text. As well as a header and description, you can add an image and a clickable link, so you can show students something visual and point them to a relevant page, all from within the 360 scene.

When adding or editing an information spot, you will see two extra fields:

• Use the Image field to display a picture inside the spot.
• Add a web address in the CTA URL field to turn the spot into a clickable link for students.

In the example below, the “Travelling light?” info spot shows an image alongside a “Check out our bedding starter packs” link, opened within the panorama without a modal overlay:

• A small tag will then show on the panorama above - move this tag on the panorama, to where you would like to position the content spot.
