Living Map Puts the Real World into User’s Hands with 360-Degree Imagery Launch

Living Map is excited to announce one of our latest features, the addition of 360º imagery to our digital mapping solution. This technology is integrated into our maps, enhancing how visitors interact with points-of-interest (POIs) throughout your space. The feature allows visitors to explore the space and plan their visit before arrival, increasing interaction with the map. 

Our 360º view provides a detailed visual representation that goes beyond traditional images. Users can examine the space from all angles, gaining a better understanding of the environment. The clarity that this brings significantly improves user experience, as visitors can make well-informed decisions about visiting or navigating a space.

Virtual tours are a standout feature of the Living Map 360º imagery functionality. Potential visitors can explore a location virtually, increasing their interest and attracting more guests. Additionally, the 360º degree images can highlight accessibility features, enabling visitors with disabilities to plan their visits with confidence and explore the space stress-free upon arrival.

The 360º imagery on the map enables transparency, another key benefit of the feature. By showcasing a realistic view of a space, the images captured from all angles build trust, as users can see exactly the space in its true form, setting their expectations straight. This feature is particularly useful for marketing and promotion, enabling businesses to create compelling materials that showcase their spaces in a unique, inviting and engaging way.

Event planning becomes more effective with 360º map imagery. Organisers can visualise and plan events more efficiently, ensuring the space meets their requirements. During events, the images serve as an excellent navigation aid for attendees, helping visitors to find their way around complex environments.

“We’re very proud to launch this useful feature to our product. 360º images bring the real-world directly into our user’s hands, enhancing the user experience and accessibility of the spaces we map.” shares Phil Rae, Chief Technology Officer at Living Map.

By incorporating 360º imagery, Living Map advances its mission to deliver innovative technology and enhance visitor experience within complex spaces.
