DMC Chicago Virtual Office Tour

In January of 2016, Google released an Android app called Cardboard Camera, which can turn a single smartphone camera into an impressive 3D panoramic image-making machine.

Using this tutorial, we learned how to convert those images into a 360 view YouTube video, which allows us to create a 360-degree, interactive panorama that can be viewed across a multitude of platforms, operating systems, and browsers. Android users with VR headsets (such as Google Cardboard) can even view the video in 3D.

As a follow-up to the office tour video we posted a few years ago, we followed the tutorial to create an awesome virtual tour of our DMC Chicago office.

Viewing Instructions

By default, each room in our office is shown for 10 seconds before switching to the next room. If you'd like to look around a room for longer, or jump around between rooms, feel free to pause the video or skip to different times.

Don't forget to use the settings (the small gear icon) in YouTube to set the video to the highest quality - it makes a big difference!
