Want to convert photos into 360º panoramas? Discover the step-by-step process with ChatGPT + Free software for Virtual Tours.
Imagine this: you take three or four images of your project or an image of the home you want to sell (for example, dining room, kitchen and bathroom), and with just one sentence in ChatGPT… you already have each 360º panoramic image!
And now… Do you want to show the client a 360 panoramic tour between rooms? Well, we have built a small tool to create free virtual tours, completely free, and you can even add a floor plan or send it to the client.
But first, let’s see how to make a 360 panorama with artificial intelligence …
With the new ChatGPT image model (Image 2), it is possible to convert a photo into panoramas with AI, obtaining coherent results without distorting the context.
You just have to follow these steps:
Some tips that can help you improve the results of the 360 panoramic image:Upscale this image to 2K while preserving the original image exactly. Keep all original details, textures, lighting, colors, perspective, composition, and aspect ratio unchanged. Do not add, remove, redraw, stylize, or reinterpret any element. Only increase resolution and improve clarity naturally. Avoid artificial sharpening, hallucinated details, smoothing, denoising artifacts, halos, or changes in geometry. For a 360° equirectangular panorama, output at 2048 × 1024 px with a 2:1 aspect ratio.
Although ChatGPT cannot generate a file of that actual size, this instruction “pushes” the AI to define the details better
Google Gemini (Pro version) is capable of achieving better quality (maximum 2K). You can access it for free from ARENA. Select the Pro model at 2K, then upload the 360 image in the chat and add the previous prompt. You will have a higher-quality panoramic image!
🟧 Note: Don’t waste time trying different prompts or methods to improve photo quality, because I have already tested them. Either Gemini Pro or specialized tools are the best solution.
We have had an article for some time about creating a 360 Virtual Tour with different tools (we have also added this new one), but this time, we have built our own. And we are giving it to you directly!
With this tool you can create as many panoramic virtual tours as you want, completely free from your computer!
An advanced, free and open-source tool to create interactive 360° Virtual Tours. It works 100% in the browser (no database or server), packaged in a single HTML file.
🟧 Note: Keep in mind that no image is saved while working only in your browser. When you save a Tour, the downloaded file does include the images inside the download file itself. Any questions, leave them in the comments of this article.
It is ideal for real estate agencies, photographers, architects or anyone who wants to showcase spaces in 360 degrees professionally and without recurring costs from third-party platforms…. What options does “Tour Builder Pro” offer?
The tool allows you to save the tour in three formats:
Optionally, it also allows you to choose whether or not to include the custom logo in the export.
Is it a perfect tool?… Well, no, but I think it has turned out professional and useful enough to be used with your clients. And remember that with artificial intelligence we can be more efficient in our architecture firm, for example, by using a free AI floor plan generator.
