QR codes are a great way to let in-person visitors take advantage of the amazing content you have on your virtual tour.
How to create QR codes for your virtual tour
Step 1: Decide on your story
Decide the story you want to tell with your QR codes. You may want to showcase buildings by showing specific scenes or maps or run visitors through full stories of certain areas of campus with specialized tours you have already created.
Step 2: Gather scene/tour links
Get the links to each scene or tour you want to include so you can create your codes.
In the scene or tour section, press the three dots and select Share
In the share modal, select the Link tab
To make adjustments, select Advanced Options and UTM parameters
You can customize your embed code beyond basic styling directly within the share modal. There are four sets of parameters you can adjust:
Call to Action parameters
Language parameters
Ul parameters
UTM parameters||
Once satisfied, select Copy Link
Tip: Create a hidden tour for your in-person QR tour that includes a welcome scene to explain to visitors how to use the codes they see around campus. By having the tour hidden, you’ll keep it off your online tour site but still be able to give context to people who scan your code.
Step 3: Choose an online QR code generator
Here are three free QR code generators:
Note: You can use a paid account to insert your logo and more!
Step 4: Create your QR Codes
Put your tour links into the QR code generator. For added pizazz, customize your QR Code with your company logo.
Step 5: Test
Test your QR Codes to ensure they are working and directing to the correct sites.
Step 6: Implement with signage
Use the code in signage around your spaces to let visitors explore and learn more about your story.
Here is an example of how you can lay out your QR code signage.
