If you are looking for a way to embed immersive 360° panoramas or create full virtual tours across Elementor, Gutenberg, and WPBakery, there are several professional plugins designed specifically for this purpose.

These tools allow you to transform flat, equirectangular photos into interactive experiences where users can "look around" a space.

💡 Implementation Tip

To get the best result, ensure your images are in equirectangular format (a 2:1 aspect ratio, like 6000x3000px). Using standard photos will result in a "stretched" or distorted view.
