# How to use the Virtual Tour feature

## What is Virtual Tour? <a href="#header-0" id="header-0"></a>

Virtual Tour can offer an immersive experience of your design. Clients can conveniently visit the virtual space on a PC/mobile device through the D5 Showreel link you share, thus gaining an immersive view of your architectural/interior designs.

***

## Two types of projects for \[Virtual Tour]

D5 supports two types of Virtual Tour:

1. Basic Tour: composited directly by the browser, not containing spatial information, only supporting basic panorama browsing and location switching
2. Space Tour: must be uploaded after creating the project in the client, containing spatial information and supporting advanced features such as 3D displacement, spatial hotspot, measurement, etc.

### Space Tour

#### Create a space tour project

1. First, log in to your Teams account. Click on the 'Tour' icon at the top right corner to access the project list on the right sidebar. Hit '+' at the top right to initiate a new project.&#x20;
2. Then, click 'Edit' to start editing the virtual tour from the current environment.

#### **3D Dollhouse**

In version 2.8.1.0731 and later, the virtual tours rendered in D5 support 3D Dollhouse mode by default, without any additional setup required.

In the panorama gallery, users can switch to the 3D panorama view via a button.&#x20;

> Demo: [DEMO\_3D Dollhouse](https://cn-share.d5render.com/team-api/shortLink/452)

<figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2F7gOi9FpioQY2CE0EYWLA%2F3d%20dollhouse6.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=c5312b99-6f63-43d9-b575-52e179d1f067" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For \[Space Tour] rendered in D5 Renderer Client after version 2.10, its 3d dollhouse file will take a new sampling effect. The latest version of the 3d dollhouse file:

1. Optimized the severe wire drawing animation effect when switching between two panorama points
2. Compressed the file size and improved the performance when accessing on mobile and web.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you regularly use our online virtual tour feature, we strongly recommend upgrading to **version 2.10 or above**.
{% endhint %}



**-How to use Dollhouse Pinpointing:**

1.Using **a sphere** as an example, to ensure complete reconstruction of the sphere, all the geometric information of the sphere must be captured in the panorama. The minimum number of required points is 2:

1 at the front of the sphere

1 at the back of the sphere

When creating the Dollhouse, all the geometric information of the points is consolidated. With the two points mentioned above, the complete sphere can be reconstructed.



2.Using **a top-down view of a single floor plan** with 3 rooms as an example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2Fxy7tw6txyozhzB8anFpo%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=36966044-2416-49b9-bf8b-891fa20e3250" alt="" width="317"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

By placing a single point in the left room, the visibility and coverage captured would be:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2FnekeSdcLb9SQh4M5KTLe%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=4bcc9021-99f1-4e0f-8d0d-b891762a7e21" alt="" width="317"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

By placing a single point in the upper room, the visibility and coverage captured would be:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2FROBUaUhUm7DBSzNpAvvX%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bca3fa1b-b377-4dd2-a975-e22415ee6911" alt="" width="311"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

With only these two points, a portion of the bottom-right room remains uncovered:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2FSy0FP3ggwvk80qZOjK6J%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=11b8f7ae-94a4-4165-b193-70da35f4c118" alt="" width="312"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

For a full coverage, an additional point is required within the bottom-right room.

One point in per room is often sufficient to adequately capture a room's geometry. However, in scenarios with more complex room layouts or objects, additional points may be necessary, to ensure a higher fidelity and completeness in the final result.

#### **How to share the virtual tours**

D5 offers two ways to share virtual tours:

* Share Online&#x20;
* Share EXE files

**Share via D5 Showreel**

1. Navigate to the '**Export**' menu and select '**Publish to D5 Cloud**'.
2. You'll be guided to associate your virtual tour with a cloud project. At this juncture, you can either link it to a new project or integrate it with one that's already in progress.

3. After uploading is completed, you can open the cloud project.

<figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2F3buwr8qRKHgHPOGRxKng%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d4b63409-98df-4e2b-9f94-50725b6ef41d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. On the D5 Showreel platform, you can find the uploaded virtual tour in the corresponding cloud project.

* A cloud project could contain multiple virtual tours.
* You can share virtual tours by link or QR code.

> Each upload to a D5 cloud project creates a new tour file, preserving your past work.

<figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2FVTMDfzMZd0TEBPfQVeEF%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=9efdfc42-9a26-4ddf-a916-f46ecc58da32" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. In the Showreel platform, you can find your uploaded roaming panorama files in the corresponding cloud project.

* Multiple roaming panorama files can be uploaded in one cloud project.&#x20;
* Users can copy the sharing link or generate a QRCode poster to send to their clients or share on social media.

> Note: Every time the client publishes to the D5 Cloud, a new roaming file will be generated, without overwriting the previous one.

<figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2FsNhegc8WSb0kOLso9UmG%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=39f17ffc-caf0-477a-9273-07e6f8497ac2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Sharing options：**

A panorama presents two types of links: long links & short links
{% endhint %}

* Long link: the url of the panorama itself when opened in the browser.&#x20;
* Short link: In the share button of the panorama, click \[ Share Link ], it will support to generate a short link. If you use this short link to share with others, you can still open the panorama. However, since the shortchain is configured with the Open Graph parameter, it can show a preview image and project profile when sharing on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, WeChat, etc.).

<figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2FJez8On6We6Ra7ohfFrWo%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7362e7fe-00e5-493a-b95d-d5a4292d79b5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Share via EXE files**

1. Rendered virtual tours can be converted into standalone exe files for secure and offline viewing.&#x20;
2. Both Mac and Windows compatible exe files can be created.

<figure><img src="https://3611830798-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MjbN1iGmN_HBnj_fyU9%2Fuploads%2FwGqR6eiRcSeYpqF3KuZC%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f92f4e68-e4a1-4aa8-8458-f69a3654d5cc" alt=""><figcaption><p>Export format</p></figcaption></figure>
