GETTING STARTED
LayerScape lets you upload 360° photos, annotate them with labels, arrows, shapes and markers, and share them live with your class. Students join on any device using a 5-digit code. It works on classroom screens, tablets, phones, and VR headsets.
You can open the editor and experiment straight away without signing up. To run live sessions with students or save your work, you'll need a free account — it takes about 30 seconds.
No. You can use panoramic photos from any smartphone, download free 360° images online, or use scenes from our built-in library. If you do have a 360° camera (Insta360, GoPro MAX, Ricoh Theta, etc.), LayerScape works with the standard JPEG files they produce.
Yes. LayerScape runs in any modern browser, so it works on interactive whiteboards, touchscreen TVs, and large displays. The annotation tools are designed for touch input.
LIVE SESSIONS
You start a session and get a 5-digit code. Students enter that code on any device with a browser — phones, tablets, laptops, or VR headsets. No app to install, no accounts to create.
The free plan supports up to 10 viewers. LayerScape Studio will increase this to 30.
Yes. Every annotation you place appears on your students' screens instantly.
Students see a message that the session has ended. Session data expires after 4 hours. Your original 360° image and annotations stay on your screen — nothing is lost on your end.
Students join with just a code
Students join in seconds
Share a 5-digit code and your class is in. Works on phones, tablets, laptops and VR headsets.
CONTENT & IMAGES
Labels, numbered markers, arrows, freehand pen, highlighter, shapes (rectangles, circles, triangles, stars), masks, spotlights, and image overlays. All tools are available on the free plan.
Yes — this feature is called Journeys and it's coming with LayerScape Studio. You'll be able to create a sequence of annotated 360° scenes with transitions between them, then guide your class through it live.
LayerScape works with standard 360° photos up to 5MB. Higher resolution images produce better results in the viewer.
PRICING
Yes. The free plan includes every annotation tool, live sessions with up to 10 viewers, JPEG export, and session code sharing. No credit card, no trial period.
Absolutely. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. If you upgrade mid-cycle, you'll be credited for the remainder of your current plan.

Every annotation you place updates live on every connected device.
PRIVACY & DATA
When you upload an image, it stays in your browser until you start a live session or save your project. Live session images are stored securely on Google Cloud servers in Europe and are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
Yes. LayerScape is a standard website — it doesn't need any special ports, plugins, or software installed. If your school blocks certain sites, ask your IT team to allow layerscape.vercel.app.
No. Students can only view what you share. They can't edit, delete, or add annotations. They see exactly what you push to them.
On a VR headset like Meta Quest, open the browser (Wolvic or Meta Quest Browser), go to LayerScape, and enter the session code. Students are in the 360° view immediately — no app needed.
