Web Developer for 360° Virtual Tour Platform Google Street View

I’m seeking a highly skilled freelancer or small development team to help me build a web-based 360° virtual tour platform, similar to GoThru, Swyvl.io, and other Google Street View-compatible tools. The platform should allow users to create and publish virtual tours using 360-degree photos, with features for navigation hotspots, info pop-ups, and map overlays.

The final product must be:
• Web-based, mobile responsive
• Capable of uploading tours directly to Google Street View
• Integrated with a Firebase backend (Firestore + Storage) using Firebase Studio
• Smart scene labeling
• Auto-generating descriptions
• Location tagging
• Tour creation suggestions

Your Role:

You will work closely with me to:
• Design and build the core application (frontend + backend integration)
• Guide me through best practices using Firebase Studio, Bolt.new, and integrating AI via Gemini and ChatGPT
• Help build a publishing mechanism to Google Street View via Street View Publish API
• Implement a user-friendly dashboard for uploading and linking 360-degree images
• Enable viewer navigation, clickable hotspots, and basic editing tools
• Ensure scalability and SEO-friendly structure
• Provide technical documentation and handoff support

Preferred Skills:
• Strong experience with Firebase ecosystem (Firestore, Auth, Storage, Functions)
• Proficient in WebGL/Three.js, A-Frame, or other 360°/VR frameworks
• Experience with Google Street View APIs
• Prior work on virtual tours or similar geospatial/mapping tools is a plus

Deliverables:
• Fully functional virtual tour builder web app
• Google Street View upload functionality
• Firebase backend and admin panel
• Documentation + light training sessions

Budget:

I am open to fixed price proposals based on milestones, depending on scope and delivery time.

Please include in your proposal:
• Portfolio or links to previous work (preferably in 360°/VR/tour building)
• Your suggested tech stack and timeline
• Breakdown of costs per milestone or feature or total cost.
• Any ideas or improvements you’d suggest based on your experience

Let’s build something great for regions like Ethiopia, where platforms like Google Street View aren’t fully available, and give local businesses and tourism spots a powerful visual presence!

Looking forward to collaborating with someone passionate, innovative, and detail-oriented.
