The Brief

This solution ensured that they got the best possible conversion rates with the most effective content for each client. Another challenge we faced, was the areas were extremely dark, particularly in the planetarium. Their 360 planetarium area required excellent low-light photography. We overcame this challenge successfully to produce stunning 360 visuals for the client.

We offer the museums and educational industries a multitude of options and unique fully customisable features to meet each and every requirement. 

What we achieved

Amongst a standard features and processes we worked with The National Space Centre to implement a range of bespoke components that makes this virtual tour stand out in true form.
