Everything You Need To Create Virtual Tours That Engage & Convert
WPVR is a unique VR tour creator that comes with several exclusive features to make virtual tours more engaging and conversion-optimized.
Simply put, it’s not just a tool to show off, but also a solution to help you get real clients interested to make inquiries, place bookings, and contact you for negotiations.
🔮 High Quality Virtual Tours With Multiple Scenes 🔮
Suppose you want to highlight a property with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and maybe 2 balconies. Maybe it has a backyard as well.
No problem. Simply take 360 panoromic images of each of the spaces and use WPVR to combine them into a single virtual tour, where people can view all of them.
But, one of the main concerns you probably have is quality. If you want it to be realistic, it has to be of high quality.
In WordPress, large images are automatically compressed, reducing panorama image quality. A good 360 panorama image usually comes with a very high resolution that can easily go over 3000×1500 pixels.
But don’t worry, WPVR comes with the free option to disable this.
You can use any high-quality panorama images (JPEG, PNG, WebP) to make your own free 360 VR tours without compromising quality.
🔮 Use Interactive Hotspots To Answer Questions & Engage With Prospects 🔮
During a real visit, you would expect people to ask questions, take a closer look at interesting stuff, and get additional facts from you.
Well, why not offer something similar within the tour? 🤔
Simply use interactive hotspots or pointers where you will have full control through HTML Editor/WYSIWYG Editor to place any type of content for the hotspot.
You can do the following:
**➤ Add Tooltips**
Add quick information or instructions to view when hovered by visitors.
**➤ Descriptions**
Let people click to view additional descriptions on an object or a section for better understand.
For example, you can add description for the bed in a hotel room to describe the quality and comfort, exactly what people need to decide.
**➤ Images or gifs**
If a certain area is unclear, let people click to view clear images or gifs.
**➤ Videos**
Instead of text, you can place a pre-recorded video to explain it yourself.
**➤ Audio**
Rather than the rest, when clicked on, play a pre-recorded audio to explain it like a human.
Pro Tip: Think about all the possible questions, concerns, or advantages you could offer as a direct guide. Deliver them on the tour using hotspots.
Other than these, you can even place buttons to load forms or add a link to an external page to maybe take people to an inquiry form or booking form.
We do have direct support for booking.
Bonus: You’ll get access to 900+ custom icons to use as hotspots to make the experience meaningufl. And you can add custom colors (Pro) or ripple animation (Pro) to grab user attention.
P.S. If you want, you can also add custom icons of your own using snippets. (Hear’s how.)
🔮 Place Virtual Tours Anywhere On Your Website Naturally, No Complications 🔮
Once you have a virtual tour ready, you can use it’s shortcode to place the virtual tour on any page, no matter what theme you use.
And, to make it easier, we have made it compatible with popular page builder through dedicated blocks/widgets.
- 360 degree view & Virtual Tour Widget for Elementor.
- 360 Image Viewer & Virtual Tour Block for Gutenberg.
- Virtual Tour & 360 VR Panorama Module for Divi.
- Panoramic image 360 view & Virtual Tour Element for Oxygen.
- 360 Panorama Viewer & Virtual Tour Element for Visual Composer.
You will have additional control to set custom height, width, and radius, or set it to full-width mode, or full-screen mode by default.
You can also Publish Virtual Tours with Password Protection in case you want to offer private access (maybe for a fee).
🔮 Interactive Virtual Floor Plan for Meaningful Direction (Pro) 🔮
One of key highlights of WPVR is it’s floor plan feature, popular among realtors and real estate agencies.
- If you have a real estate floor plan available, you can add it to the virtual tour. Then you can place pointers on the map and connect them to respective scenes.
- People can look at this map within the tour to know exactly where they are in the property, and click on pointers there to visit that scene directly.
This can play a crucial role in helping visitors get a sense of direction of the property and make a more informed decision.

🔮 Share Your Virtual Tour On Social Media Via Link Or QR Code (Pro) 🔮
With WP VR, you can easily share your 360 degree virtual tours to others or on social media (even without placing it on a web page).
Once you generate a tour, you can either
* copy a shareable link, or
* generate a QR code.
This you can post on any social channel (Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc.) or send to your clients via email & direct message.
🔮 360 Video Player for WordPress 🔮
Apart from virtual tours using 360 panoramic images, you can use WPVR as a 360 video player on your website.
Meaning, if you have a 360 degree video, you can upload it to your media folder or on YouTube/Vimeo, and then use WPVR to embed it on your website – no custom codes needed.
🔮 Cardboard & VR Headset Support for Full Immersive Experience (Pro) 🔮
An exciting aspect of WPVR is it’s VR headset support.
You can let people turn on the VR Glass mode in the virtual tour so that visitors can place it on their Google Cartboard or VR headset and take a realistic virtual tour experience!
🔮 WPVR Analytics Support (Pro) 🔮
Apart from all those interactive options, you also get to view analytics to help you make business decisions.
You will be able to:
- 📈 Track Individual Tour Views: Identify which virtual tours got the most attention.
- 🔥 Analyze Hotspot Interactions: You’ll know which features your clients found most interesting.
- 🗓️ Filter Report Periods: Get reports broken into Weeks, months, years, or even custom dates – everything will be crystal clear.

🔮 Mobile First VR Approach 🔮
WPVR is designed with a mobile-friendly output in mind. All the tours you make will be fully responsive and weightless for mobile devices.
👉 Faster Interactive VR Tour Loading on Phone:
Use an auto-resize feature to make virtual tours weightless on mobile devices.
👉 Better Size For Mobile View

👉 Notice for Smartphones
You can show custom notices on smartphones to help people with directions.
This makes WPVR an ideal virtual tour creator to match today’s business trends.
