how to create a virtual tour using any kind of 360 camera. Now, the reason I'm doing this is that I've had a lot of people sending in questions, asking me how do I create virtual tours? How do I create such tools for my business? I've had people from museums, people who own real estate companies, people who sell houses. Virtual tours are now becoming very popular as a way of showing people who are stuck at home, who can't go out, who can't go to these businesses that are closed anyway, showing them the insides of houses, of museums, of all kinds of different industries. I'm going to show you step by step how to easily create a full virtual tour using any kind of 360 camera like these. 

Before this tutorial, I'm going to be using all-in-one 360 cameras. So the ones that are like this usually have two lenses or maybe multiple lenses and they can shoot a full 360 photos in just one shot. The first thing we're going to go through is the equipment that you'll need to create your virtual tour. First and foremost, you're going to need a 360 camera. Now, there are many 360 cameras available right now, so you may be a bit confused as to which one to buy, which one is best for virtual tours. I'm going to do a whole different video explaining that and going into detail, doing some comparisons. 

For the sake of this video, I'm going to be using the RICO Theta Zone, which for me is probably the best all-around virtual camera. Right now. However, it is out of stock in many places. I can't really see it available anywhere at the moment because a lot of people are getting onto this virtual tour craze. Another camera that's available and is probably my second choice is the insta 360 one hour. This is also a decent camera for shooting virtual tours if you use the right settings. And I'll go into that a little bit later, quite significantly cheaper than the Zone as well. 

So either of these cameras will do. But to be honest, this tutorial will apply to basically any 360 cameras. So you don't need to worry too much. The only other thing you'll need is some kind of tripod or monopod to hold the camera. So it needs to be tall enough that it reaches the height of an average human. So probably roughly my highlight. And five four nine, one hundred and seventy-five centimeters. If the camera is rough that tall, then it's going to be fine because you want to mimic the height of a person when you shoot your virtual torso. You also need to make sure that the tripod or monopod you choose specifically works well with 360 cameras now. Now, an example of that is something like this. This is a monopod. However, it has an attachment here that obviously works as a tripod. So you just pull the legs out, attach this to this, and it works as a tripod. Now, the reason this is great for 360 cameras is that it has nothing at the top that would interfere with the camera. 

So if we attach it here, so every 360 camera has a blind spot underneath it where the tripod goes. So that means the tripod is invisible to the camera. It means far less editing means less interference. You don't want anything that has any protruding parts of the top already anywhere throughout the whole tripod, ideally. But this is actually quite an expensive setup. It's one of the more expensive specific 360 camera monopod setups you can get. If you want something a bit cheaper. You can also buy a light stand, which works in much the same way. However, it does have a wider base, so it will be slightly more visible in your 360 images. I'll also post a link to where you can get one of those as well. In terms of software, make sure you download the app and the desktop software for whichever 360 camera you get. 

For example, the Insta 360 one hour has its own app where you can manage stitches and edits your photos. However, it also has a desktop app, and I prefer to use that as it's much easier to manage your images on a desktop. If you want to get the absolute best out of your 360 images, then I suggest you also subscribe to the Adobe suite, even if you just need to do it for a little while, for just a few weeks or a month. 

Download Photoshop and Lightroom, because those programs will allow you to get the maximum quality out of your images. And I'll explain why later. Specifically, if you go for the ricochet Theta Zone, Adobe Lightroom is an absolute must to get with this camera. So that's basically all you're going to need to start to create your virtual tour. Now, let's say that in the environment that you're going to shoot, so you're in a flat that you're selling or a house or you're in a museum or a construction site wherever you want to shoot your virtual tour to set up, you literally just attach your camera to your tripod. You place the tripod at, say, roughly the height of an average human, like I said. And you put it in a central position where it's not too close to any specific object. You want to make sure that there are no walls or objects within about a meter of the camera. Now, you're going to want to go into the camera settings and choose which kind of photos you want to take. 

This is where it gets a little bit complex if you're not really into photography if you've never really dealt with cameras before. Now, there are basically two options that I go for and most other 360 photographers go for all of the 360 cameras, I suggest have an HDR mode and raw mode. So I'm going to explain. Those two are and what the difference between them is and why you should shoot in these modes, you're going to want to choose either one of these. 

Do not just go with a standard image because it won't look good enough. You can get much higher-quality images if you shoot in either or raw. Let's start with HDR shooting and HDR will allow the camera to shoot many more high-quality images than if you just shot with a normal mode. Basically, when the camera shoots in the HDR, it shoots three individual images, one light, one normal, one dark, and then combines them together. That creates a much higher-quality image. The cameras do this automatically, so you don't have to do any editing. It all combines those three images itself's and spits out the final image. So it's ready to go. You don't need to do anything about it. You don't need to do any editing if you don't want to. I mean, obviously could if you wanted to slightly adjust things. But it's a great way of getting a high-quality image automatically without doing any editing. But most virtual tours are going to be shot inside and you're going to want to shoot them in daylight. 

You're going to want to shoot them with lots of artificial lights or the lights on as much light as possible. When you do this, you may see some overexposure in the windows. You may not be able to see outside and may be too bright. There may be light beams shooting out of artificial light. Sources now, Hajja, are really helpful to get rid of those. And it really makes a virtual tour much more realistic and much more attractive. So that's the kind of look we're going for. An HDR helps us to achieve that. The other shooting option is DNG Raw. Now, this allows the camera to shoot the maximum best quality image that possibly can. However, it does require editing in a program like Premiere Pro or Photoshop, so it is harder to achieve the final effect. However, the image quality that you can get is the highest possible. When you shooting raw, you'll shoot your image, and then when you take it and put it into the program, it won't look anything special. It won't look better. But what Raw allows you to do is to edit your photo without any loss of quality so you can bring out so much more detail. You can bring out so many more colors, vibrance, you can gather effects where you can see outside of a window get rid of all of the overexposure underexposure, increase dynamic range. 

Basically, adjust is the best way to get the best quality image out of these cameras. Definitely worth learning how to edit raw images in Photoshop or Lightroom with your 360 camera. It's not difficult, guys. I'm not going to go into it now, but it is literally a case of just putting it in the program, selecting some different options, and then you're done. As well as choosing HDR and Raw, there are also some other camera settings that you can play with to get the best quality image out of these cameras. Most cameras will have a manual mode which will allow you to change things such as shutter speed, ISO exposure. If you don't really understand what these things are or you're not that familiar with cameras, don't be too afraid. Essentially, if the room is dark, if there's not that much lighting, and if you see on the preview that the image is dark, then you can lower the shutter speed so that it takes in more light and therefore the image is brighter. And if the image is very bright and the outside of the windows is overexposed, there's too much overexposure. You can raise the shutter speed so that the camera doesn't take in as much light and you will have less overexposure. 

Try and keep the ISO to a minimum around about 100, and that reduces noise as much as possible. Basically, those are the only settings you should worry about. Just have a few practices goes and see which settings work best for the environment. And high-quality virtual tours are worth the effort because they look better and people react to them better. And you're much more likely to get the results you want from a higher-quality virtual tour than if you just shot lower quality. So you set up your camera, you selected the right settings, and now we're going to go on to shooting. Now, this is actually really easy. All of these 360 cameras are one-shot cameras, so you literally just have to press one button and it will shoot the 360 images straight away. It's literally just like using a phone or like using any other digital camera. The difference is, is that the 360 camera will shoot the entire room at once. It will shoot 360 full 360 images at the same time. So you need not be in the room. You need not be in the image. So you need to give yourself enough time to get out to go into a different room while the camera takes the photo. To do that, you can either connect the camera to your phone. Each camera has its own phone up and you can remotely activate the shutter from thereby in a different room. So you're not in the shot. Or you can select a timer to give yourself enough time to get out of the way. So choose one of those, get out of the way of the camera, go into a different room, and then shoot your photo and it should be done pretty quickly. Well, if you're in a large room or a large space, you're probably going to want to shoot more than one image. My role is to move the tripod in the camera every meter and a half or so. But if the room is quite small, so it's a very small bedroom or a small bathroom, you may only need one or two images. But for a very large room, say a large living room, a living area, you may need four or five. When you're shooting your virtual tour, make sure it's daylight, make sure that the light is fairly even. Usually, you want to have all of the curtains open. You want to have all of the lights on. You want to have the room looking as best as it can. Let's move on to the editing process because this is pretty probably pretty much the hardest part of the whole thing. But still, it's not too difficult. The only thing you need to consider is that 360 cameras and 360 photos were. 

One extra editing point or editing process than normal images, and that's the stitching process, what you need to do is get your camera, plug it into your PC, open up the desktop software that came with your camera. It's always free, so you don't need to buy it. You'll be able to look at the 360 images and see what it looks like. And if you're happy with it, then you can export it. And then when you export to a folder on your desktop, it will then stitch them together in the final 360 formats, which you can then upload to wherever you need to upload it or will go into that in a minute. The editing process is actually slightly different, depending on which camera you use. For example, if you did go for the Ryko Theta, that one, and you shot in the arm and then you don't need to do any stitching, the stitching is done automatically in the camera. You can literally just go into the camera, take the images out and they're ready to go straight away. However, for the insta 361 are if you wish to shoot in HDR mode for that, you do need to drag those images into the install 360 one, our desktop app, and then do the exporting process that I just described. However, if you wanted to do some editing or you shot in that raw mode, then we need there are a few extra steps we need to do. 

The process of editing Raw 360 photos is again different depending on which camera you get. If you were to get the Regurgitator Theta Z one, then you need to drag the unstitched DNG image into Adobe Lightroom there. You can also download a plug-in the Ryko Theta Stitcher plug-in, which is free. Once you've installed that in the room, you'll be able to edit your DNG file in Lightroom. So you just click correctly. You do all the editing that you need to do, then you right. Click on the image and select edit Enrico Theta Stitcher. This will then stitch the DNG raw image together into its final 360 forms. Then you can export that as a jpeg, then you are ready to go with the instr 361 are. You need to drag the DNG raw image into the insta 360 studio, stitch it, then take that image into either Lightroom or Photoshop and do the editing there. 

The DNG raw process is definitely easier and more efficient when using the Ricoh thetas than that one, which is part of the reason why I think it's the better 360 camera for virtual tours. So now we're going to go on to creating your virtual tour. There are many different programs and software available that allow you to create virtual tours and host them and then host them on your website or however, you want to share them. I personally really like a website called Coolac. I think that's how you pronounce it. I've used that quite a lot. I'm a premium member of that service. It's not so expensive. You will probably need to pay for whatever one you choose. If you want to get a decent quality virtual tour. Cool allows you to create virtual tours straight away. Very simply drag and drop your images into the website. Then it will upload all of the images. You can then connect them with points with hot spots. So when the viewer clicks on a hotspot, it will take them to the next image. You can put information tabs on that. You can even have music, you can have maps. You can have so many different things added to add to your image if you want to provide information to your viewer. 

So once you've uploaded your virtual tour, once you have added all the hotspots or the labels or the titles, everything you want to add to your images, you're ready to share it. So in the premium version of Cooler, it allows you to embed the virtual tour onto your website. It allows you to have that with your own branding, without the branding, it allows you to choose different options. So you basically just need to go to the share tab, share options, choose the embed, copy the code, choose your options, and then put that into whichever Web page you want in your website. Now your viewers can view your full virtual tour on your website. It can also it can be viewed on a phone, it can be viewed on desktop, and on a virtual reality headset, which for me is the best way to view something. But it still looks great if you view it on a phone or on a desktop. I've used Koula as the example for creating the virtual tour in this instance, but there are many available. So of course, Google what one is best for you, that different price points, different capabilities. But yeah, it's basically a similar setup for every kind of virtual tour service I've ever seen. Okay, guys, so that is basically how you create a virtual tour. I know this is a very quick-fire guide, but I mean, there is really not too much more to it. You may need to practice a few times. I would suggest doing a tour of your house or your business place on your own. Just do a practice one. But to be honest, after doing one or two, you're pretty much near that. The hardest part is the editing process. 

But, you know, it takes roughly half an hour to work out how to do it. So, yeah, that's if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hopefully, this will help a lot of people create virtual tours now during this time of lockdown time that many people are not able to experience and go out and see things and a time where businesses are really struggling, you'll find links to where you can get all of the cameras, all of the products and software that you'll need to check out the description below. There are many more guides and videos on this channel that should be able to help you if you're worried about how to use the cameras.
