A virtual tour is an interactive, three-dimensional presentation of a space

It allows the user to navigate virtually through a given location using a computer, tablet, or virtual reality (VR) goggles. It represents an advanced form of virtual reality technology, providing users with the sensation of being present in a different place, even though physically located elsewhere.

The creation of virtual tours is a comprehensive process that begins with data collection,
such as 3D scans or CAD models. Subsequently, based on the gathered information, a three- dimensional model of the virtual environment is developed, incorporating buildings, objects, and terrain.
Programming interactions enables users to move around, interact with the environment,
and enjoy other features. Adding textures and lighting is crucial for achieving a realistic effect. For VR goggles, the project is adapted to meet the specific requirements of this equipment, ensuring smooth and comfortable usage.
After constructing the environment, the testing phase ensues,
during which interactions are checked, performance is optimized, and errors are eliminated. The final step is deployment, delivering the completed virtual tour to a website, VR platform, or other distribution channels. Throughout this process, a team of specialists collaborates to create a captivating virtual experience.

Applications:

  • Real Estate: Real estate agents use virtual tours to remotely showcase properties to clients. Prospective buyers can virtually explore homes or apartments before deciding on a physical visit.
  • Tourism: Virtual tours allow prospective tourists to virtually explore destinations before their visit. This is a useful tool for trip planning and remotely discovering tourist attractions.
  • Education: Virtual tours are employed in education to create interactive educational environments. Students can virtually explore historical sites, anatomical organizations, or other challenging locations
  • Industry and Training: Virtual tours are used in industries for employee training, especially in areas that require familiarity with specific locations or machinery. This allows for realistic simulations of professional situations.
