TeliportMe: Let Customers Explore Your Business with a 360° Virtual Tour
TeliportMe: Let Customers Explore Your Space Before They Visit
A customer likes your showroom photos but still has questions. Where does that doorway lead? How are the displays arranged? With a TeliportMe virtual tour, they can look around before making the trip. IPSense can help connect your panoramic images, add details beside the displays and publish the tour on your website.
Could customers understand your space better before coming in?
TeliportMe links panoramic photographs into an interactive tour. Visitors can look around a scene, move to another area and open useful information along the way.
Start with the areas customers ask about most. IPSense can help choose the views, arrange the route and add a way to enquire. Existing images are reviewed first, so you know whether more photography is needed.
What is TeliportMe, and who is it useful for?
TeliportMe is software for building and publishing 360° virtual tours. Panoramic images can be captured with its phone app, a 360 camera or a suitable DSLR setup.
It suits businesses where customers want a proper look at the premises, including showrooms, hotels, event venues and properties for sale or rent. Visitors control the view. They can pause at a display, look towards the entrance or move into the next room.
Use the tour to show the space. Measurements, surveys and any necessary in-person inspections still need to be handled separately.
Which features make the tour useful?
Linked panoramic scenes
Connect rooms and display areas with navigation markers. Each view can be named, helping visitors find their way without guessing which door to choose.
Details where questions arise
Clickable points, called hotspots, can open text, photos, videos, PDFs or links. A marker beside a display could explain the material or open a product brochure.
Floor plans for orientation
Place scene markers on a supplied floor plan to help visitors find an area. Optional 3D dollhouse views use floor-plan information; they are not a substitute for measured building data.
Sharing on your website
Share a link or embed the tour on your website. A QR code on a brochure can take customers straight to it.
A place to ask or book
Let visitors ask about a display or arrange a viewing through a contact button or supported form or chat integration. Keep the request specific. Someone exploring a banquet hall may simply want to check a date.
Tour visit information
See where tour visits come from and which devices are used through the available analytics. Hotspot clicks and sales are not tracked automatically in these reports.
Certain integrations, analytics and 3D views require a higher plan or an upgrade. The features and hosting needed for your tour are confirmed before work begins.
Where could a virtual tour help your business?
Choose areas that answer a visitor’s real questions. A useful tour does not need to include every cupboard or corridor.
- Showrooms: let customers see the range of displays and open details beside selected products.
- Hotels and event venues: show room types, entrances and shared spaces so visitors can judge whether to enquire.
- Properties: help prospective buyers or tenants understand how rooms connect before arranging a visit.
- Education and training centres: introduce classrooms, practical facilities and reception areas using approved views.
For a furniture showroom, the tour could open at reception and lead into the living-room and dining displays. Beside a sofa, a detail card might explain the fabric options. A customer can then enquire about the arrangement they have just explored.
How can IPSense help you create the tour?
Tell us what customers ask before they visit and send a few pictures of the premises. From there, IPSense can help you work out which areas to include and what the finished tour needs to show.
- Select the areas to include and decide where visitors should start.
- Review existing panoramas or identify where new images are needed.
- Connect the scenes and write short, useful information cards.
- Add approved branding and a clear contact or viewing option.
- Place the finished tour on a suitable website page.
The scope will set out photography arrangements, any retouching or website work, and responsibility for later updates. New panoramic photography may be needed before the tour can be built.
Before photography, put away personal documents and access codes. Check reflections too. Anything visible in a public tour can be seen by its visitors.
What happens before the tour is published?
- Choose the route.List the areas people need to see and the questions each view should answer.
- Prepare the images.Review lighting, image quality and coverage. Arrange additional panoramic capture where needed.
- Build and review.Link the rooms, add useful details and check that visitors can find their way back.
- Check the final page.Test navigation, loading and enquiry links on desktop and mobile before sharing the tour.
What works well, and what are the limits?
More context before a visit
A visitor can look around, return to an area and compare parts of a space. Information beside the relevant display saves them guessing what they are seeing.
Share the same link when a customer asks to see the premises.
The tour is only as current as its images
Dark or poorly captured panoramas can make a space difficult to explore. Large files also need care so the tour remains usable on slower connections.
If the layout changes, some scenes may need to be photographed again. Visits, bookings and search rankings are not guaranteed.
The tour needs continued hosting. Agree who manages the account, subscription and updates. TeliportMe states that public tours become private after the paid period ends if the subscription is cancelled.
What should you know before starting a virtual tour?
Can we use the photos we already have?
Possibly, if they include suitable panoramic images. Ordinary room photos can support information cards, but they do not automatically become a complete 360° scene. Send a sample so we can check what can be used and what needs capturing.
Do we need a special 360 camera?
Not always. TeliportMe supports phone capture through its app as well as 360-camera and DSLR workflows. The right choice depends on the room, lighting and level of detail needed. We can discuss capture options after reviewing the space.
Can customers open the tour on a phone?
Yes. Tours can be shared through a link or viewed within a compatible website page. We check the finished tour on mobile, including whether navigation and contact options are easy to use.
Can visitors contact us from inside the tour?
Yes. A contact link or a supported form or chat integration can give visitors a way to ask about what they see. The chosen plan must support the option you need. We check that enquiries reach the right place before the tour is shared.
Can we update the tour when our layout changes?
Yes. Text and links can be edited, while an outdated room view can be replaced with a fresh panorama. Keep someone responsible for checking the tour when displays or layouts change.
Which part of your business would you like people to explore?
Send IPSense a few pictures, the type of space and where you want to share the tour. We will help you decide what to include and what images are needed.
