WebbVR is an information site about virtual reality tours: immersive, 360-degree experiences that let a person look around a place on a phone, a computer or a headset. The articles collected here explain how the technology works and where it is being used. This is a reference resource, not a store, and it does not take orders or sign people up for anything.

Why virtual tours matter

A good tour lets viewers explore a home, a hotel room, a classroom or a construction site without traveling there. For the people who publish tours, the appeal is easy sharing: a finished tour can sit on a web page much like an embedded video. The archived material behind this site described software that could be used without programming, ran across many kinds of headset and relied on cloud storage to load media quickly. You can read a fuller overview on the product page and the about page.
