Hotspot

Hotspot

Also known as hot spot, hotspot zoom. Category: 360, 3D and output formats

A hotspot is a clickable marker on a product image or 360 spin that opens additional content, such as a close-up photo, a zoomed detail or a text annotation about a feature. Hotspots let a viewer explain specific features without leaving the spin or gallery.

How PhotoRobot uses it

In the PhotoRobot Viewer, hotspots are configured per spin with a position, visibility range, size, opacity, pulse, colour and title, and can open photos from a separate stills folder. PhotoRobot recommends hotspot zooms with close-up shots for details too small to resolve from a distance.
