Which solution to create a drone virtual tour?

A drone tour links several spheres on a map. Virtual tour software expects finished panoramas and points placed by hand. Virtuaaa does it all: upload the raw folders of your spheres, they are stitched and placed from their GPS, and the tour is ready.

How do you shoot the spheres?

How do you shoot the spheres?

  • One sphere per viewpoint, with the original photos saved.
  • Calm air, sticks released until the last photo.
  • Vary the height to show the place from close and from far.
  • Stay under the legal ceiling: 120 m in Europe, 400 feet in the United States.

Drone virtual tours: the questions people ask

Do I have to stitch the spheres first?

No. Upload the raw folders from the SD card; each sphere is stitched automatically.

Which drones work?

DJI, Parrot, Skydio and Autel: their gimbal angles are read. For other drones, the photos alone are enough.

Can I connect the aerial tour to an interior?

Yes. Add panoramas taken on the ground, and the visitor goes from the sky to the inside of the building.

What does it cost?

The trial is free. The tour costs $10 when you keep it, paid once, up to 150 panoramas.
