Virtual Tours can allow a user to view an environment whilst on-line. With the expansion of video on the internet, video-based virtual tours are growing in popularity.

If you are a realtor looking to shoot quick and easy 360° virtual tour – the GoPano micro is something you should be looking at or the GoPano plus if you are looking for something a little high-end. Just attach GoPano lens attachments to your iPhone (or your camera if shooting with the GoPano plus) to create on shot-quick 360 virtual tours. You could then embed these 360 virtual tours on your website or share it with your viewers on facebook or twitter pages.
