On April 8th, 2016 I purchased a Ricoh Theta S camera that can take 360 Degree Spherical Panorama images.

Since then, it's mostly been sitting in my desk drawer, until now.

I reached out to Vineet, and he's been able to answer all of my questions. In addition to taking images with my Samsung Galaxy S8 (or iOS phone), I can import the Ricoh images which are already in 3D sphere format.

Why use Teliportme.com instead of alternatives? The part I really like is being able to create custom hotspot icons, so when people are walking through a tour they can be updated with relevant information.

Some of you might be using other tour software. They work great inside single buildings. What happens when you want to have 3D tours outside? What happens when you need multiple buildings in the same tour? That's where a solution like TeliportMe helps.

I also have some events coming up where I'll need a way to have people pay to virtually tour through different locations. This is hopefully on TeliportMe's roadmap (and not just embedding it on a page people have to pay to get to).

Finally, although these tours are new to AppSumo, it looks like the company is a stable company that has been around awhile.
