Virtual tour is the method used to provide a graphical presentation of a property or properties to internet users. It is a simulation of an actually existing location, comprised of still or video images or virtual models of real location. To make it more presentable, you can add sound, music, narration, and text to it. Viewing virtual tours is simple and easy-no extra plug-in, no downloads.
Virtual tour can also contain ‘hotspots’, which when clicked provide either textual information or a link to your website. A virtual tour can have a single panorama, several linked together through hotspots. They can be used on websites, CD-ROMs or multimedia kiosks.
Virtual tours are used extensively in real estate industry. It allows a user to view a property or a house from different angles while he/she is on-line. Currently various industries use such technology for marketing their product or service. Some websites even allow their visitors to navigate virtual tours by clicking on maps or floor plan. You can move easily between rooms and obtain an overall picture of the property.

Properties with virtual tour in the internet have been proven to increase visitors, driving sales and attracting more vendors to their door.
