What is a Virtual Tour?

Virtual tour is a reflection of an actual space. It is a combination of sequence of images, sound effects, narration and text. Virtual Tour of an existing location gives a real life feel of the space and the viewer experiences the detailed knowledge of the space without visiting it.
There are several ways to construct a virtual tour. it can be either represented as a panoramic view which is a series of photographs stitched seamlessly panning video footage or a simple walk through where the spectator is walking through the space and experiencing everything on his own.
A panorama is a 360 degree view or representation of a space in any medium. it is a very wide angle image or a composition of multiple images put together. through panorama the viewer is experiencing a 360 degree wrap around image of a space which gets a little static at times. Where as a walk through of a space allows the viewer to experience and discover the original space on his own. The viewer has a real life feeling while navigating through the space, as if he is moving through the space like it happens when we actually visit a museum or any historical site.
