Did you know it is possible to embed thousands of high-resolution panoramic 360 photos, directly on your own website or blog? If you have ever put a Youtube clip into a blog, then you know how to publish an interactive VR panorama in your blog.
Step-by-step guide to embed a panorama in a website On most of our panoramas you will see a tab in the top left corner of the image which says "embed & share". Click on it.   You have to agree that you're not putting the panorama onto a commercial website (A blog with google ads is ok. A hotel website is not ok.).  Then, simply copy and paste the code. It's as simple as embedding a youtube clip, and it's a great way to enrich your own pages.  Now, go to the page where you will paste this code for your blog or website. In this example, we are pasting it into a Wordpress blog. It is the same as if you are pasting embed code from, for example, Youtube. Be sure that you are in the "HTML View":    You can see it live on our blog. | What's the difference between "non-commercial" and "commercial" use?
In most cases, non-commercial simply means your own personal website or blog (Facebook, too, see below). If you have a blog with Google ads on it, that's ok. If you're a non-profit NGO, no problem. However, if you'd like to embed our content into your hotel, restaurant, bar, shop, or online business, etc. etc. then please contact us for pricing. See also our Immersive Tour Widget product for information about how to get a virtual tour created for a business. How is the quality? The quality is the same as on 360 Cities - the best immersive 360-degree photography you will experience, anywhere on the web. There is even a "fullscreen" mode, just like on 360 Cities - including a map, hotspots to nearby locations, and thumbnail previews. What's the catch?
Each embedded panorama has a couple of text links back to our site. We ask that you leave these links as they are. Second, we ask that you show these panoramas on non-commercial websites. Our "free" embedded panoramas are not to be used for the marketing or advertising purposes of another company. If you are interested in using them for this purpose, please contact us. My site has text ads on it. Can I embed panoramas there? Yes, that's no problem. These embedded panoramas have the 360Cities logo in the corner. Can I pay for a non-branded embedded panorama? Yes, we are planning to introduce that functionality in the future. If you would like to have this functionality now, please contact us. Will it work in Blogger / Wordpress / Livejournal / Myspace / etc. ?
We have been thoroughly testing this embed functionality and it is working everywhere we tried so far :-) If you experience any errors, please let us know via our forum. See also: 360 Cities Frequently Asked Questions |
