Make the unfamiliar feel familiar
A useful visit before the real one.
Some decisions depend on a place. A prospective pupil wants to understand a school. A patient wants to know what the clinic feels like. A performer needs to see the venue—not merely read a list of facilities.
A 360 tour lets people explore in their own time, using an ordinary phone, tablet or computer. It can answer practical questions, reduce uncertainty and help the right visitors take the next step.
And it need not feel like a trail of empty rooms. Vivify can bring in short films, photographs, captions and useful links so the tour explains what happens in the space as well as what it looks like.
Where tours work well
When the environment is part of the decision.
Clinics and care settings
Make an unfamiliar appointment feel less daunting by showing the entrance, reception, treatment rooms and accessibility arrangements.
Venues and hospitality
Give guests, performers and organisers a realistic sense of the rooms, layout and facilities before they enquire or book.
Studios and workspaces
Take clients behind the scenes and explain the equipment, process or expertise that makes the physical space worth visiting.
Interactive ElementsVideo, photos or even quizs can be added to tours. Great for interactive online learning.

Straightforward quotations
Priced around the location. Not a package nobody needs.
The cost depends on the number of viewpoints, the size and location of the premises, and whether the tour includes additional films, photography or bespoke information. After a short conversation, we can normally define the scope and give you a clear fixed quote.
Useful things to tell us
- What kind of premises it is
- Who needs to explore it
- Roughly how many spaces matter
- Where the premises are located
Practical questions
Before commissioning a 360 tour.
No. The tour works in a standard modern web browser on phones, tablets and computers. It can also be viewed through compatible immersive equipment, but that is not required.
Usually, yes. The tour has its own web address, hosted on a Vivify server and can be linked to directly or embedded into an existing page. We will recommend the cleanest option for your site.
The panoramic photographs are normally captured without people moving through them, but short films and still photographs can be placed inside the tour to show the space in use.
The space should be clean, tidy and arranged as you want it to be seen. Before the shoot, we agree a route and provide practical guidance on rooms, lighting, privacy and anything that should be removed from view.
