Virtual Tours

What is a virtual tour and how can I benefit from it?

A virtual tour is a sequence of panoramic images that are sewn together to create a ‘virtual’ experience of any business. Once created, the viewer is able to experience what it is like to be somewhere they are actually not. This virtual experience could be viewed through their desktop computers, laptops, tablets and even mobile devices. Virtual tours can also include sound effects such as music or a narration describing products or points of interest. These tours can offer buttons that can be clicked on by users who want to take a still image of a particular portion of the tour.
