The use of 360 virtual tours has become a technology that allows viewing from different angles, places, or spaces that, due to various circumstances, it is not possible to visit physically. Due to different restrictions existing today; of a physical, economic or health type, virtual visits to museums, archaeological sites, parks, and facilities of various kinds have become an alternative to disseminate, promote, or bring users closer to places, that through 360 panoramic images, make them feel immersed in them. Currently, creating a 360 virtual tour is available to more people, as the software and hardware tools used are increasingly accessible. However, deciding on the most appropriate software platform to publish virtual tours on the web can be a trial-and-error process, delaying obtaining these virtual products.
