How to Publish on Google Street View via XROO
Google Street View is a service that allows users worldwide to explore streets and places through 360° images. With XROO, you can upload your own 360° images to Google Street View to promote locations, showcase businesses, and share immersive virtual experiences. This guide walks you through the entire process of publishing to Google Street View using XROO.🔹 Before You StartA Google account is required.You must have your own 360° images (supported formats: JPG, JPEG).The 360° images must contain GPS location data.Any personal information such as faces and license plates must be blurred.🔹 How to Publish✔️ Step 1: Upload 360° Images & Access Google Street View MenuGo to [Create] > [360° Creator] and click “Upload 360° Image”.After uploading, confirm that all your images are listed.Click the Google Street View menu at the top.Review the upload guidelines:Only 360° panoramic images can be published.All Scenes must be aligned to face North.Blurring is required for any personal information.✔️ Step 2: Set the Business AddressEnter the business address on the map.Why is this important?Allows users to easily find your location on Google Maps.Enhances brand trust if linked with Google My Business.Helps visitors navigate to the location more accurately.Double-check the position and manually fine-tune if necessary.✔️ Step 3: Connect Movement PathsConnect your uploaded 360° Scenes to form a navigation path.📌 Why connect Scenes?It links your images together, enabling users to move through the space naturally as if they’re walking. Without this, the images remain isolated and can't be explored in sequence.Choose either “Auto Connect” or “Manual Connect”.Use the preview on the right to verify that the movement paths work as intended.🔍 Why Do Pins Look Different on the Map vs. in the Preview?The map shows Scenes based on their actual GPS locations, so distances are visible.The preview displays movement pins based on direction (Yaw), not distance.In other words, the system calculates the direction of connected Scenes relative to the current Scene, using North as a reference point. For example, if you’re viewing Scene 8 and it’s connected to Scenes 1, 5, and 6 — and their directions are calculated to be similar — all the pins will appear closely grouped in one direction on the screen.⚠ This is not based on real-world distance, and Google Street View functions the same way.✔️ Step 4: Log In & PublishOnce everything is set, click [Publish].Publishing may take up to 48 hours.You’ll be able to check your published content directly on Google Maps.📅 Post-Publishing Checklist✅ Make sure your content appears properly on Google Street View✅ Confirm that faces and license plates are blurred✅ Test if the movement path (arrows) works as expected💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Q1. Why doesn’t my content appear immediately on Google Maps?It can take up to 48 hours for changes to appear.Q2. When will movement arrows show up after connecting Scenes?They may take up to 7 days to appear on Google Street View.Q3. Can I change the image location after publishing?No. You’ll need to delete and re-upload it with corrected data.Q4. Is blurring personal data really required?Yes. Without proper blurring, Google may limit or remove the content.Q5. Where can I apply the blur?Use the “Scene Auto Blur” feature in XROO. It’s available with the PRO plan or higher, and it allows you to apply blurring to both Street View content and other XR experiences.Share your immersive 360° content with the world using XROO's Google Street View publishing feature! 🚀

Why Sharing Virtual Spaces Needs More Than Just a Link
These days, anyone can easily create a 3D virtual space.Whether it’s for a portfolio, an online exhibition, a brand showcase, or an educational environment,virtual spaces are becoming a powerful medium for storytelling and content.Especially for freelancers and creators, virtual spaces aren’t just a visual output—they’re an expression of identity and creativity.From the layout to the atmosphere and interactive elements, the space becomes a part of the creator’s voice.But after completing a space, one common question remains:“How do I show this to others?”A simple link often isn’t enoughVirtual spaces are rich, immersive experiences.They contain context, intention, and sometimes even a narrative.But when we share them as nothing more than a plain link,a lot of that meaning gets lost in translation.Viewers may enter the space without understanding:Why the space was designed in a certain wayWhat the key points or areas to focus on areWho created the space, and what its purpose isThis often leads to well-crafted spaces being reduced to just another link,lacking the emotional or conceptual depth they were meant to convey.A “web wrapper” helps bring context backTo address this, many creators now surround their virtual spaces with simple websites or landing pages.Instead of sending a bare link, they build a narrative layer around the space—like setting a stage.For example:A short introduction before entering the spaceKey visuals or summaries to guide the viewer’s attentionCreator information, contact links, or other related worksA smooth flow from context → experience → actionThe result is more than a virtual space.It becomes a content experience that invites the viewer into the world the creator intended.This approach increases immersion and helps deliver the message more effectively.The process of building that experience is now easierIn the past, creating a website around your space meant using design tools, hiring a developer,or spending hours setting up a separate web builder.But now, things are simpler.Some platforms allow you to create the virtual space and build the website around it—within the same tool.For example, the platform XROO provides a “Site Builder” feature that lets usersturn their space into a web-based experience in just a few steps.Without needing to write code, you can:Add titles, descriptions, and intro textsInsert images, videos, or navigation buttonsEmbed contact links, social media, or portfolio pagesPublish it all under a shareable URLThis helps creators streamline their process—especially when sharing with clients, applying to jobs, or promoting projects online.Creation doesn’t end with making—it includes sharingMaking a virtual space is an act of creation.But sharing it well is what gives it life.Today’s creators need to think beyond the output and consider how that output will be delivered and experienced.That delivery is no longer just a technical step—it’s part of the creative process itself.Fortunately, with accessible tools and platforms available,you can now own the entire flow—from building your space to shaping how it’s shared.If you’ve created a space,it may be time to consider building the stage where it truly comes to life.💡 Note: On XROO, the “Site Builder” feature lets you wrap your virtual space in a customizable web page—no coding needed, ready to publish and share instantly.

The two projects focus on themes of "Art Exhibits" and "Storytelling Spaces." Let’s dive into the details.1. My Favorite Art Exhibit: Utilizing TTS ContentThe first example is "My Favorite Art Exhibit," created by Dahye Kim, a student majoring in Culture and Technology Convergence at Sungkyunkwan University. Inspired by a deep passion for art, Dahye curated a virtual gallery featuring her favorite artworks. Using XROO’s diverse features, she delivered a highly detailed and professional-quality tour that received excellent feedback.Key Features:TTS (Text-to-Speech) Content Integration: Dahye added audio descriptions for each piece of artwork, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the background and meaning of the pieces. For example, by clicking an info icon next to a piece, visitors could hear details such as the title, artist information, and artistic intent.Interactive Design: Interactive elements were added around the artworks, enabling visitors to click and explore detailed information, creating an immersive experience akin to visiting a physical gallery.360-Degree Images and 3D Space: Using XROO’s intuitive tools, Dahye designed a virtual space based on 360-degree images, making it feel like an actual gallery environment. The 3D models were created in Unreal Engine and exported to XROO using its plugin.This case demonstrates how leveraging TTS features can elevate the user experience, showcasing the potential of virtual tours.
