COMPARE · HYPASPACE VS 360° VIRTUAL TOURS

360° tours vs HypaSpace

A virtual tour shows your photos. HypaSpace shows your place.

360° virtual tours are a tunnel of pre-shot photos: beautiful to look at, impossible to wander off from. Here’s how a 360° tour compares with HypaSpace, the photorealistic 3D twin of your real place, across the nine things that matter most.

THE SHORT ANSWER

A 360° tour lets visitors look around from fixed spots. HypaSpace lets them move freely through the whole place, find their way on the day and book from the map, while you see what they did.

HYPASPACE WINS 6 OF 9 ROUNDS, WITH 3 DRAWS · 11 POINTS TO 21

NINE ROUNDS. ONE WINNER. SCROLL TO PLAY.

NINE ROUNDS

360° tours vs HypaSpace, round by round

We scored both on the nine things that matter most to the people who run a place. Three dots is strong, an empty dot is a gap. Seven rounds are scored out of 3; the last two are judged on the evidence.

  1. Round 01 · Your real place

    A DRAW

    Real photography. Fair’s fair, it’s a draw.

    360° tours HypaSpace

    A 360° tour is genuine photography of your place, and it looks the part. So does HypaSpace: captured from the air and rebuilt as a photorealistic twin. The difference shows up the moment a visitor wants to go somewhere.

  2. Round 02 · Immersive experience

    A DRAW

    Both immersive. Only one lets you leave the bubble.

    360° tours HypaSpace

    In a tour you hop from hotspot to hotspot and see what the photographer saw. In HypaSpace, visitors move freely through the whole place, from any angle and any height. A draw on points, and a clear win on freedom.

  3. Round 03 · Live wayfinding on site

    HYPASPACE TAKES IT

    Lovely view. Now, which way is the spa?

    360° tours HypaSpace

    A 360° tour stops at the photo. It can’t tell a visitor where they’re standing or how to reach their room. HypaSpace can: live, turn-by-turn wayfinding through the real place, from the car park to check-in.
