Schools and training centres: prepare open days with a virtual tour

A 360° virtual tour extends open days all year round and helps students and families picture themselves in the institution.

Open days accessible all year round

Open days remain a key moment, but they only last a day and many families cannot attend. A 360° virtual tour extends that event continuously: a prospective student, sometimes far away, explores the premises whenever they want, from home, with no calendar constraint.

Immersion answers the concrete questions that weigh on a school choice: what do the classrooms, the laboratories, the common areas look like? By discovering these spaces, the student and their family picture themselves there and gain confidence before even applying or travelling for an information day.

Showcasing facilities and student life

The choice of a course often comes down to teaching resources: workshops, technical platforms, library, specialised equipment. The virtual tour showcases these assets better than a brochure, by showing them in context. The institution concretely demonstrates the quality of its learning environment.

Beyond the classrooms, immersion conveys the campus atmosphere: lounges, catering, social spaces. This human dimension matters as much as the programmes in reassuring families. It also helps attract candidates hesitating between several institutions with comparable content.

A support for the institution’s communication

The virtual tour integrates with the school website, the course pages and recruitment campaigns. Guidance counsellors, student fairs and social media gain a shareable immersive asset that extends the institutional message with a concrete experience of the premises.

HD Media supports institutions in staging their visit path: reception, key spaces, signage. Produced with immersive expertise proven since 2007, the tour faithfully renders volumes and light, for a modern and polished image of the school.
