What is a Virtual Reality Tour?

You may be familiar with virtual reality through gaming, but this immersive experience is already shaping our future in various other industries too.

Automotive, healthcare, architecture, education, sports, and countless other industries are on the VR bandwagon because it’s efficient in time, money, and resources.

In the hospitality and real estate industry, virtual tours are on the rise, giving consumers a peek at properties of interest without actually visiting the space in real-life.

A virtual tour displays existing properties like businesses, hotels or other touristic locations on your smartphone, computer, tablet or in a virtual reality headset. These simulations are typically created by photographers, videographers, architects or developers.

These creations are a sequence of images stitched together as a 360° panorama view of a space. VR software depicts the images to viewers as if they’re at the property in person.
