We begin by collaborating closely with your team to review floor plans. Together, we identify and mark key locations that require 360º images and those that would benefit from immersive video integration. This strategic planning ensures that every important aspect of your facility is highlighted.
Patient Journey Flow
Highlight the patient’s journey through the hospital, providing a clear and comforting path from arrival to various departments.
Department Welcome
Create welcoming introductions for different hospital departments, helping patients feel more familiar and comfortable with their surroundings.
Machines & Processes
Offer detailed explanations and visual demonstrations of essential machines and processes, aiding in patient understanding and easing anxiety.
We actively encourage people within your immersive tour. Having people in situ explaining a process, equipment or patient journey helps convey to the user.
You can have information, images, videos and websites if desired. Likewise, we encourage the use of ‘masked’ videos which significantly reduce download sizes ensuring fast performance for your end user.
At any point we can incorporate additional languages, translation of text and or video too.
We can remove, update or add additional videos, either reshooting a 360 scene with masked videos or adding pop-up videos.
We can shoot additional patient stories and add these either in situ or a designated information point within your tour.
We can remap the 360º images from ‘equirectangular’ into rectilinear images for using on your website and literature by identifying key locations or equipment within any 360º view.
Yes, at the planning stage we can review if character animation is to be incorporated within your bespoke virtual tour, either existing characters or developing for you.
With our immersive tours we can add animated walkthroughs to guide patients from a reception area, between departments, or from a parking lot.
A 360° virtual tour is an immersive experience that allows users to explore a space from any angle. It is created using a series of high-quality images and videos stitched together to form a seamless panoramic view. Users can navigate through different areas by clicking on hotspots, providing a realistic and interactive way to explore a location remotely.
360° virtual tours offer numerous benefits for hospitals, including helping patients familiarise themselves with the facility before arrival, reducing anxiety, and improving overall patient experience. They also serve as valuable tools for staff training and orientation, enhancing communication, and showcasing the hospital to potential employees or stakeholders.
We ensure accessibility by integrating features such as screen reader compatibility, text-to-speech options, and translations into multiple languages, including British Sign Language (BSL). We also optimise the tours for various devices and screen sizes, ensuring everyone can access and benefit from the virtual tour.
The time required to create a 360° virtual tour depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, it involves several stages, including planning, shooting, editing, and integrating multimedia elements. On average, a comprehensive virtual tour can take a few weeks to several months to complete.
We use high-quality, non-intrusive camera equipment designed to capture detailed 360° images and videos. Our equipment, combined with our experienced image editing skills ensures the best possible visual and immersive experience.
Planning Hospital Tours
By integrating immersive video into the 360° images, we ensure a seamless and engaging experience. This combination allows patients to not only see but also experience the environment as if they were physically present. Our videos include:
Detailed Walkthroughs
Guided tours of important areas within the hospital.
Educational Segments
Informative videos explaining medical procedures and equipment.
Personal Touches
Welcoming messages from hospital staff and personalised patient experiences.

Our process starts with the critical planning stage, ensuring every detail of your virtual tour is thoroughly considered and executed. Here’s how we bring your virtual tour to life:
1.
Comprehensive Planning
We begin by collaborating closely with your team to review floor plans. Together, we identify and mark key locations that require 360º images and those that would benefit from immersive video integration. This strategic planning ensures that every important aspect of your facility is highlighted.
2.
Flexible Shooting Schedule
To capture the best footage, we remain flexible and adaptive to your needs. If required, we conduct the tour over several shoots to accommodate your staff and patients’ schedules. This approach guarantees minimal disruption to daily operations and prioritises patient care.
3.
Initial Draft of Tour Images
Following the shoot, we compile the first draft of the 360º images. This involves aligning and linking various 'nodes' to create a basic walkthrough. The draft, along with any relevant notes, is securely viewable via a username and password, allowing your team to track progress and provide feedback.
4.
Image Editing and Enhancement
We refine the captured images by creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) visuals, removing unwanted elements, correcting colour discrepancies from different light sources (indoor, outdoor, halogen, LED), and eliminating tripod visibility. These enhancements result in polished, high-quality images that enrich the virtual tour.
5.
Video Integration
We incorporate immersive videos into the 360º scenes, ensuring that the colour correction matches the environment. This seamless integration adds depth and realism to the tour, providing a more engaging experience for viewers.
6.
Adding Information Hotspots
Strategically placed information points provide essential details and context throughout the tour. Your team reviews these hotspots to ensure they are accurate and relevant, enhancing the educational value of the tour.
7.
Bespoke Character Animation
We create and animate bespoke characters, rigged and boned, to be incorporated into the scenes. These characters add a unique, interactive element, making the tour more relatable and engaging for viewers.
8.
Multilingual Support
Our tours are available in multiple languages, tailored to your region and patient demographics. We use high-accuracy machine translation for both text and video content, ensuring all patients have access to the same high-quality information.
9.
Efficient Tour Delivery
Using Content Delivery Network (CDN) distribution, our tours are hosted on multiple servers worldwide. This ensures fast and reliable access from any location. Simply embed the provided code on your website, and any updates to the tour filter through seamlessly, keeping your virtual tour current.
10.
Fast Updates
Our bespoke tours allow us to remotely update and add content without requiring your team to make changes or consult with IT systems. This results in quick turnarounds and a hassle-free process, ensuring your virtual tour remains up-to-date with minimal effort.
