Guide your clients using live presentation mode

So while you’re presenting your space to a client in a meeting & she is viewing it on a Google Cardboard, how do you know what she is seeing ? No more questions like, “ Tell me what you are viewing right now”. It’s been a challenge faced by most architects using VR for presentations. We’ve solved this problem by launching a live presentation mode in the platform. Every space created now has two URLs: A “Presentation URL” for the presenter to view in real-time the space being viewed by your client and guide him & a “Viewer URL” which can be shared with your clients for them. Here’s how it works:

1. Share the “Viewer URL” with your client & open it on a mobile device
2. Open the “Presenter URL” on your browser
3. Select the device(s) on which the client is viewing & you’re ready.

How to use presentation feature ?

Adding or removing hotspots from images

You can now upload your 360 images & connect them via hotspots immediately so that your clients can navigate within the space. The hotspots work with a click while viewing on desktop & are enabled for VR-mode by gazing for 3 seconds.

Add or remove hotspots to link images while creating the space

We hope you like these changes made in SentioVR. Thanks for all your feedback & we are building some really exciting features that will help more and more architects to use Virtual Reality for presenting their designs to their clients for better & faster understanding.

If you’re an architect and not using SentioVR, we invite you to give it a try. It’s free for 30 days & there are good reasons we think it will benefit your business.
