The document discusses Agile Scrum methodology and how it was used to develop PanoPla, a virtual reality tool. It describes the Scrum process which involves daily stand-ups, bi-weekly deliverables, and retrospectives. A team including students and a Scrum Master from Bit Space Development iteratively built PanoPla over several months, gaining early feedback from users. The result was an open beta version of PanoPla with over 5,000 users in just 4 months.

Let our servers process your image into our viewer (easily embedded). Add interactive hotspots to the image (drag & drop). Share the image through social media. Embed the virtual tour on your website. View the panorama on any device (HTML5). Load the spherical tours into Google Cardboard seamlessly.
