The Brief
Northwood School partnered with a specialist virtual tour provider to create an interactive 360° tour of its campus in Middlesex. The objective was to give prospective students and families an immersive experience of the school’s facilities, learning spaces and community ethos, especially useful when physical visits may not be possible. The tour is built to reflect the school’s outstanding status, showcasing its classrooms, arts, sports amenities and more.
The tour has already generated numerous enquiries and is now an integral part of their marketing strategy. It is also being used to conduct open days for groups of all sizes. For this tour, a map interface was used as an alternative to our traditional drone shots.
We offer the education industry a multitude of options and unique fully customisable features to meet each and every requirement.
