Up to 20 Participants from anywhere in the world can use a VR headset, or a standard browser on any mobile device or desktop, to join the tour.
No. Although virtual tours are most immersive when experienced through a VR headset, remote participants can join using any modern browser on a laptop, desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.
The requirements are different between Operator (on site) and the Participants (remote) when running a live virtual tour.
For the Operator, uplink bandwidth can be tuned from a minimum of 2mbps up to as high as 10mbps; since a sustained uplink is required, a good rule of thumb is to double the target bandwidth. So a minimum sustained uplink of 4mbps is sufficient. Downlink bandwidth requirements are lower and usually not an issue if sufficient uplink is available.
Each Participant requires enough downlink to receive the stream. 1mbps uplink is sufficient for Remote Participants.
No, WiFi connection is not needed at the location.
4G LTE cellular service is generally sufficient for uplink in the 2-6mbps range. We recommend the use of 5G where available, as uplink is generally more robust and higher bandwidth.

For live virtual tours, we recommend using the Labpano Pilot Pano camera or the Labpano Pilot One camera. Check out our Hardware page for more information on the Avatour Kit 3.0.
For Android users, a good, less-expensive option is the Insta360 One RS or the One X2.
For iOS users, the only current option is the Insta360 One X.
