InstaVR

InstaVR, Inc. is a San Francisco company offering a browser-based authoring tool for building virtual reality apps from 360-degree photos, video and 3D models without code. Scenes are assembled in a drag-and-drop editor, and one project can then be published in a single step to the web, Google Cardboard, Android and iOS apps or VR headsets. The company says over 50,000 companies and professionals have chosen it.

What InstaVR offers

• No-code editor — tours and apps built entirely in the browser, with no special hardware or installed software.
• Media support — 360-degree video up to 8K, stereoscopic 180 and 360 footage, and textured 3D models in FBX or OBJ format.
• Interactivity — hotspots and quizzes, plus an optional passcode sent by email that confirms viewers' addresses and turns them into leads.
• Offline and private delivery — apps that run without a connection or are installed privately rather than through public app stores.
• White label — agencies can resell the platform to their own clients under their brand.
