The virtual tour process
Once you contact us, we will arrange a video chat or phone call to go over your proposed project ideas. This gives us a chance to develop a plan and provide and estimated price.
The next step is a visit to your location. We will walk through the site with you and begin planning locations for the 360 photographs while you tell us the story behind the site and point out features important to that story.
Once the 360 photographs are taken, we process them for quick review before moving on to editing the images and assembling the tour. The time to complete the process varies with our schedule and the complexity of the tour.
Prices
There are a number of variables that impact the price of a virtual reality tour. These include the number of photographs, popups, and other design elements of the 360 tour. A project might also involve travel to your location, research, or other factors. A basic starting point is listed below.
A basic virtual reality tour of 5 -10 photographs is $450. This includes the 360 photographs linked together as tour that can be imbedded in a website as well as uploading those images to Google Streetview. Each photograph can also be provided as a panorama formatted for sharing on Facebook. Additional photographs run $60 each and popups of text, images, or video are an additional $50 each.
Please reach out to discuss more detailed estimates for creating your bespoke virtual reality tour.
It is more important than ever to build knowledge and enthusiasm about the value of historic and archaeological sites. We need this enthusiasm to create support for historic preservation and the protection of archaeological sites.
This panorama is titled The Last Chapter. It is a much-loved, 1930, neighborhood library that is on the National Registry of Historic Places. In front of the building is the demolition equipment about to tear the building down. This is the Hamline-Midway Library. The neighborhood library of one of the 3D History Trek founders, Val Woelfel. We are proud to say that the neighborhood put up a serious fight to save it. People do care.
