What is an interactive floor plan in a virtual tour?
A candidate wants to go straight to the workshop. A customer wants to see the showroom first. An interactive floor plan lets each visitor jump directly to the right place without following the entire tour.
In brief
An interactive floor plan is an overview of a building or site. Visitors can click to jump to another space in the virtual tour. They can immediately see where they are and what else is available. This makes larger locations much easier to explore.
How does a floor plan work?
The floor plan shows the main spaces, buildings or departments. Choose a place and jump directly to that part of the tour. Visitors do not need to follow the entire route to find what they need.
When is a floor plan useful?
Especially for:
- Several floors or buildings.
- Large production and logistics sites.
- Healthcare and education buildings with many spaces.
- Tours for different audiences.
- Locations where visitors need to find a specific area quickly.
Good to know: A floor plan often adds little in a small, simple building. Standard navigation works well there. We only recommend a floor plan when it makes the tour clearly easier to use.
Which labels appear on it?
Use familiar labels that visitors understand immediately, such as entrance, production, warehouse, training area and conference centre. The floor plan does not need every technical detail. It should help people explore, rather than show every pipe and installation.
Can it be updated later?
Yes. If names, routes or spaces change, we update the information and links. After renovations, we also check whether new 360-degree images are needed.
