3Sixty Studio Documentation

3Sixty Studio turns panoramic photos into interactive 360° virtual tours. You add panoramas, place hotspots, pin rooms on a tour map, build walkable 3D scenes, and export the result as a website you can host anywhere. This documentation covers every part of the app, version 2.1.

What you can build

A 3Sixty Studio tour is a normal website: one index.html file plus folders of media. Visitors only need a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Inside the tour they can:

Look around 360° panoramas by dragging, or with the mouse in Mouse Look mode on desktop.
Click hotspots to jump to another panorama, view an image, play a video or audio clip, read a PDF, open a web page, or run your own JavaScript.
Open a tour map (floor plan or site map) and jump straight to any pinned panorama.
Browse a panorama list with a thumbnail of every panorama.
Walk through 3D scenes in first person, with collisions, gravity, jumping, clickable objects, trigger zones and animated objects.
View your own Custom HTML pages inside a pop-up window.

How it works in four steps

Add your panoramas. Import equirectangular 360° photos (PNG or JPEG) into the Panoramas section.
Place hotspots. Drop hotspots on each panorama, pick an icon and choose one or more actions.
Preview with Run. The Run button builds the tour and opens it inside the app.
Export and publish. Export a ZIP and upload its contents to any web host.
