Quick answer: Virtual tour software for architects. Turn 360° captures or presentation panoramas into interactive walkthroughs with hotspots, share links and embeds — free in the browser.
Clients understand a space faster when they can look around. Virto 360 is virtual tour software for architects: turn equirectangular 360° panoramas — from Enscape, Twinmotion, Lumion, D5 or a site camera — into a walkthrough the client opens in a browser. No custom WebGL build. No app install on their phone.
A live architecture walkthrough
Pan and move through a published 360° tour — the same browser player your clients open from a link or embed.
From render or site shot to client link
- Export 360° — From Enscape, Twinmotion, Lumion or D5, export an equirectangular panorama. On a built site, shoot with a 360° camera the same way.
- Upload in the browser — Drop the images into Virto 360. No desktop tour suite and no plugin on the studio website.
- Connect the narrative — Hotspots between rooms and zones. Set the opening view to the shot that explains the design idea.
- Share, embed or QR — One link for a remote review. Iframe on the project page. QR on a competition board or printed set.
Why architects use a 360° tour instead of another slide deck
Plans and stills are necessary. They are also easy to misread. A client who can pan a living room, look up at a void, and walk into the next zone asks better questions — and signs off with fewer “I thought that wall was further back” comments.
Virto 360 is the shareable layer after you already design in your usual tools. It is not a BIM viewer and not a replacement for Enscape or Twinmotion. Those products make the space. This software publishes a tour people can actually open.
Unbuilt projects and as-built sites
Unbuilt: export 360° views from the model at the heights a person would stand — eye level in the main rooms, not a bird’s-eye marketing still. That is what a design-review tour needs.
As-built: shoot the finished project or a construction milestone with a 360° camera. The same editor publishes both. Clients compare the approved design tour with the site tour without learning two players.
Export from the tools you already use
Enscape, Twinmotion, Lumion and D5 all export equirectangular 360° images. Use those files. Virto 360 does not lock you into a capture-camera ecosystem and does not ask the client to install a viewer.
If a scene needs cleanup before the review — a leftover entourage mesh, a blown window, muddy dusk lighting — optional AI tools live on AI virtual tour software. This page is the architecture workflow: upload, hotspots, send.
Hotspots that carry the design argument
- Room-to-room links so the walk follows the program, not a random slideshow
- Notes on materials, orientation or a zoning decision — without opening a 40-slide PDF
- Opening view locked to the hero spatial idea, not a leftover camera from the renderer
- Same tour on a laptop in the office and a tablet across the table
How the tour leaves the studio
Share a public https link for a remote design review. Embed the iframe on a project page or studio portfolio. Put a QR on competition boards, printed drawings or a site hoarding so a phone opens the walkthrough.

What this is not
Not a real-time BIM or Enscape session. Stakeholders cannot move walls in the tour. They can look around the views you published.
Not unlimited enterprise storage forever. Free is for publishing walkthroughs; paid plans add capacity as the studio grows. Details stay on the free plan page.
Use cases
- Design review — Send one tour link instead of a long screen-share of stills. Clients pan at their own pace and comment on the space, not the slide order.
- Competition boards — A QR beside printed drawings opens a live 360° walkthrough. Jurors see the sequence of rooms, not only the hero elevation.
- Portfolio and project pages — Embed finished or unbuilt tours on the studio site so a visitor walks the work without a plugin.
- Site progress — Repeat 360° captures at milestones. Same share format as the design tour — useful for remote clients and contractor coordination.
FAQ
Can I use rendered panoramas from Enscape, Twinmotion, Lumion or D5?
Yes. Export equirectangular 360° images from the renderer you already use and upload them. Any standard 360° panorama works — capture or render.
Do clients need to install software?
No. They open the share link in a normal browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. No app, no WebGL project you have to maintain.
Is this a replacement for BIM or real-time rendering?
No. Keep designing in Revit, Archicad, Rhino or your renderer. Virto 360 is the published walkthrough you send after you export 360° views.
Can I present an unbuilt project?
Yes. That is a primary use: design-review and competition tours from rendered panoramas, then as-built tours from site photography in the same editor.
Where do I put the tour so people actually open it?
A review email or WhatsApp with the share link, an iframe on the project page, or a QR on boards and printed sets. Embed and QR guides: embed a virtual tour and virtual tour QR codes.
