Buyers expect not only the basic stats but to get the full experience of your listing without leaving their seat. New 360\u00b0 tags distinguish your listings by letting potential buyers explore the property as if they were there. (Try using the fullscreen option within the tag to look even closer.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By combining a 3D floor plan and 360\u00b0 panoramas, a real estate professional can take control of the experience by combining the necessary facts of a floor plan with the immersive experience of the 360\u00b0 tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most exciting aspect of using ThingLink and Dermandar together is that creating an interactive floor plan with 360\u00b0 images is now very fast and requires no advanced photo editing skills or hardware. \u00a0Though for professional use, we\u2019d recommend a nicer camera, but for quick productions, iPhone works just fine too.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want to learn more about incorporating 360\u00b0 panoramas into your tags?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{cta(&#8216;563d44a4-7424-4b73-a8fe-6185c7cc3ccc&#8217;)}} \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are happy to announce that ThingLink rich media tags now support 360\u00b0 panorama images.
