360 Tour Creation Comparison Class

360 Degree tours are perhaps most well known for their use in google street view. With more accessible 360-degree capture devices available, there are even more tools that allow you to easily augment 360-degree photos and videos to make them into interactive learning experiences. Join IT@IC for an afternoon session where we compare some of the most popular 360 tour building tools, recommend some ideal use cases and share our experience using 360-degree tours to help you navigate ways for using 360 in an educational setting.
