“Unlike traditional virtual tours that use animation and computer renderings, or 360-degree videos made with static individual scenes, RagingWire’s new ‘Real Life 3D’ VR tour offers the depth and space of the actual data center and gives users complete control over their exploration of the environment,” explained James Leach, Vice President of Marketing at RagingWire. “With this new VR application, users can move at their own pace and see the areas of the facility that matter the most to them from different angles that standard linear tours can’t provide.”

Using a virtual reality headset, the Real Life 3D tour allows users to experience the data center in 360 degrees as a real, continuous, and virtual scene. Alternatively, RagingWire’s web-based 360-degree interactive video tour provides a true sense of place by moving up, down, and all around for a unique user-driven experience on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.

Leach continued, “While onsite tours have traditionally been a requirement for data center buyers, we believe the quality of RagingWire’s new VR tour and web-based 360-degree tour can make onsite tours optional, streamlining due diligence and saving time and expense. It’s taking data center shopping to a whole new level, and we think customers are going to love it.”
