When the global health crisis prevented us from allowing families to visit our campus, Mapme enabled us to share our campus virtually. Rather than lifeless 360 video of empty spaces, we were able to populate our tour with photos and videos that better told our school story. The Mapme team went above and beyond to support us through the process.
