Case Study: HSY creates interactive virtual tours for underground wastewater facility education with ThingLink

How to Create a Virtual Tour a Unique Underground Facility in Helsinki

The Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority (HSY) needed to create an engaging virtual alternative for an international wastewater plant tour after their key conference was canceled. They contacted ThingLink to produce an immersive, interactive virtual tour on a very tight deadline of just a couple of months.

ThingLink provided a comprehensive solution, assigning a producer to handle 360-degree image and video capture, processing, and uploading based on a script from HSY. The resulting virtual tour was so successful that HSY adapted it into multiple versions for experts, school children, and the public. ThingLink's work allowed HSY to pilot the virtual experience as a permanent alternative to physical tours, receiving highly positive feedback and enabling them to re-resource their student guides.
