Lapentor

Lapentor is a browser-based tool for putting together interactive 360-degree virtual tours without any coding. Its main audience is property agents, photographers and tourism operators; example tours on its site were made for Cumbria Wildlife Trust, Green Hill Holiday Park and Crossover Comics in Montreal. Basic use costs nothing, while the premium tier adds unlimited projects and storage, and finished tours can be hosted on the customer's own domain.

What Lapentor offers

• Drag-and-drop editor — tours are assembled in the browser from panoramas shot on common 360-degree cameras.
• Hotspots and add-ons — eight kinds of hotspot, templates to start from and over 21 plugins.
• Multi-resolution display — image quality and loading speed are tuned automatically for computers, phones and VR headsets.
• Access control — each tour can be open to all, kept private or protected by a password.
• Sharing and analytics — embedding on any site, custom titles, descriptions and thumbnails for search and social, and view counts either in its own dashboard or in Google Analytics.
• Self-hosting — a completed tour can be downloaded as a zip file containing its code and images.

Who it works with

Lapentor targets estate agents, photographers and tourism businesses, from those making one tour to those making a hundred.
