A flat image can introduce a page. A panorama can pull people into it.

A360 Panorama Hero provides a dynamic Gutenberg block for building memorable Hero sections with an interactive equirectangular 360-degree image in the background. It is ideal for hotels, real estate, architecture, showrooms, tourism, events, creative portfolios, and any website where space and atmosphere help tell the story.

The foreground content uses native InnerBlocks. Headings, paragraphs, buttons, groups, columns, and other supported WordPress blocks remain editable with standard block editor controls. There is no separate page builder and no unfamiliar content workflow.

Build the Hero your way, invite visitors to look around, and make the most valuable part of the page impossible to ignore.

Lightweight by design

A360 Panorama Hero keeps its footprint focused. Panorama styles and scripts are loaded only on pages where the block or shortcode is used, so the plugin does not add an unnecessary site-wide script payload. It also uses no tracking and requires no external rendering service.

Features include:

  • Native dynamic Gutenberg block with InnerBlocks content.
  • Lightweight assets loaded only on pages that use a panorama.
  • Equirectangular 2:1 panorama images from the Media Library.
  • Optional poster image displayed while WebGL initializes.
  • Automatic rotation with configurable speed and restart delay.
  • Adjustable field of view, overlay opacity, and block height.
  • Horizontal and vertical content alignment controls.
  • Adjustable content padding.
  • Keyboard, pointer, and touch interaction.
  • A shortcode for displaying a standalone panorama.

No external service or user tracking is used by this plugin.
