Based in Singapore, I create 360 virtual tours for hotels, event venues, campuses, showrooms, exhibitions and commercial interiors. My work combines high-quality 360 photography with clear navigation, hospitality-level image retouching and custom interface design so viewers can understand a space before they visit.
I am also the director of Visual Narrative Pte Ltd, the Singapore company behind Visual Narrative 360. Through Visual Narrative, I build web-based virtual tours that can be embedded into your website, hosted separately or delivered offline for sales presentations.
Each virtual tour is built on my own Visual Narrative 360 interface system rather than generic off-the-shelf virtual tour software. This means the navigation, layout and interactive features can be adapted around the project, whether you need floor plans, maps, aerial 360 panoramas, information hotspots, deep links to specific rooms, guided audio, multilingual text, measurement tools, day/night transitions, open-and-close object views, CMS-assisted text updates or offline versions for sales teams.
While a picture captures a moment, a virtual tour captures the entire story. 360 Virtual Tours are visually captivating and fully interactive, serving as an essential tool for promoting your business. Invite your audience to explore every detail of your space through immersive virtual experiences, enhancing their engagement and connection to your brand.
View Demo Virtual TourA 360 virtual tour is not just a set of panoramas. The photography shows the space, but the interface decides how easily people can move through it, compare areas and find the information they need.
Depending on the space, this can include menu systems, room descriptions, information hotspots, video popups, interactive floor plans, map navigation, different waypoint styles and direct links to specific rooms or areas.
For more complex projects, I can add guided audio, multilingual text, offline versions for sales teams, measurement tools, day/night views, open-and-close object views or other project-specific features. The point is to give viewers the information they need at the moment they need it, making the tour more engaging, more useful and easier to present.
Before building the tour, I work through how the space needs to be shown, who will be using it and what they need to understand. I also look at what information viewers may want while they are exploring the space, and how we can show it to them clearly. The goal is to create an interactive tool that feels useful, engaging and makes people want to explore every part of the virtual tour.
Open / Close Objects lets viewers select an item in the tour and switch between two states. It can be used for cupboards, wardrobes, minibars or equipment. In the Marina Bay Sands tour, viewers can open the guest armoire to see what is stored inside.

Day / Night Effect lets viewers switch between day and night views of the same scene. It can show how the lighting and appearance of a room, restaurant or outdoor space changes after dark. The Artyzen tour uses it in Café Quenino.

View Feature
Lens flare can be added to scenes where the sun or a bright light source is visible. The effect moves as the viewer looks around the panorama and can be adjusted to match the direction and intensity of the light.

View Feature
The Measurement Tool displays room measurements directly inside the virtual tour. It can show the length, width and height of a space so viewers can understand its dimensions while looking around. In the Flutes tour, it is used to show measurements for event planning.

View Feature
The MICE Cluster adds a set of controls to function rooms. Measurement lines, a floor plan and a PDF button can pop out when needed. We can also add other buttons or functions if the client requires additional MICE-related features while viewing the room.

View Feature
Multi-navigation Hotspots open several destination choices from one marker. Each option can include a label and thumbnail, allowing viewers to switch between room layouts, nearby areas or related scenes without placing several permanent hotspots across the panorama. In the Artyzen tour, they allow viewers to see the same function room in different setups.

View Feature
InfoSpots can function as a tooltip to show a few words, or they can open to show a title and description. They can be placed on specific objects or areas of the tour to provide information where it is relevant.

View Feature
Image Popups open an image and description in a window inside the virtual tour. In the GBK85 exhibition tour, they are used to show artworks and information about each piece. The same feature can be used for any other image and supporting information.

View Feature
Multi-action Hotspots group several options under a single marker. Selecting the marker can reveal links, PDFs, videos or other content without placing several separate icons around the same object. In the Azbil tour, they are used to organise related product information and media.

View Feature
Embedded Web Content can open a website inside the virtual tour or in a new browser tab. It can also open PDF documents and images, allowing viewers to access additional material directly from a hotspot without losing their place in the tour.

View Feature
Floor Plans allow viewers to step out of the 360 view and look at the space from above. This makes it easy to see where they are, understand the layout and move directly to another area of the tour.

View Feature
Floor Arrows provide Google Street View-style navigation within the virtual tour. They show viewers how to move through a space and give them a clear indication of where they can go next. They are ideal for guiding visitors through connected rooms, corridors and larger spaces.

View Feature
Opening Screens appear when a virtual tour first loads. They can include the client’s logo, project name, introductory text and a button to enter the tour. We can use an animated opener or a video opener depending on the tour.

View Feature
Guided Focus switches the virtual tour into a scripted mode with audio narration and controlled camera movements. It can direct viewers to specific objects, areas or details in sequence. A tour can include multiple guided sequences for different subjects or audiences.

View Feature
We create aerial 360 panoramas that give visitors a bird's-eye view of your location and the surrounding area. They help viewers understand the size of the site, where buildings and outdoor spaces are located, and how the different areas connect.

View Feature
Aerial Landmarks add labelled points of interest to an aerial 360 panorama. They can show a description of each nearby location and the walking distance from the property. In the Conrad Singapore tour, selecting a landmark opens Google Maps inside the tour with navigation instructions.

View Feature
Maps are a core feature of our virtual tours. An embedded Google Maps page opens in an iframe inside the tour, allowing viewers to check the property’s location without leaving the tour and see where it sits within the surrounding area.

View Feature
We can add guided audio that plays automatically as visitors enter different areas of the tour. Audio descriptions provide context and additional information throughout the experience. We can record the narration in-house or work with a studio to find the right voice.

View Feature
Videos can play in a window inside the virtual tour. They can be included in the tour files or streamed from YouTube. YouTube is usually more efficient because it handles the video streaming and reduces the bandwidth used by the tour itself.

View Feature
We can add videos that play on televisions, monitors or display screens within the virtual tour. The video plays directly on the screen in the 360 image. When viewers select the screen, the full video can open in a larger window without leaving the tour.

View FeatureEvery tour we build includes these capabilities.
Every room and area in your tour gets its own unique URL. Link directly to specific scenes from your website, email campaigns, or social media. Update individual rooms without touching the rest of the tour. Perfect for hotel websites where each room type page links straight to that room in the tour.
Update your tour content without touching code. Our custom-built CMS lets clients edit text in real-time during development, directly from their own computers. Once published, the CMS data is embedded into the tour files for fast loading. No ongoing subscriptions, no third-party platforms.
Virtual tours can support whatever additional languages your project requires. Once a language has been added to the content management system, simply enter the translated text in its language section and it will be available throughout the tour.
Download the complete tour to a Mac or PC. Present at trade shows, client meetings, and site visits without internet access. The offline version runs identically to the online tour, with all interactive features intact.
We have a wide variety of interactive way points to choose from to navigate the virtual tour. These waypoints allow visitors to move between areas of the tour in an elegant way. We can custom design a waypoint that matches your brand.
Scene Menus list the available rooms and areas in a virtual tour. Viewers can open the menu and jump directly to a location instead of moving through every connected scene. Larger tours can group locations into sections, floors or categories. We can do a top menu or a side menu.
We can customise the tour interface to match the client’s brand. This can include their logo, colours, typefaces, buttons, icons and menu layout. The same design is carried across the desktop and mobile versions of the tour.
We can connect the virtual tour to the client’s Google Analytics account. This records visits and basic usage information, including which areas of the tour are viewed. Tracking is configured during production and uses the client’s existing Analytics property.
Visited checkboxes are part of the description box cluster. They show viewers where they are in the tour and which areas they have visited. Unchecked areas provide another way to navigate and explore parts of the tour they have not seen.
Description boxes display information about the area currently being viewed. They can include the name of the space, supporting text, and navigation options within a responsive panel. The content updates as viewers move through the tour, can be provided in multiple languages, and is easily managed by the client through our content management system.
