360 Virtual Tour
Virtual Tours are a web-based interactive simulation of a location that allows the viewer to use the mouse to move around image. Move the mouse to the left of center and the image will rotate to the left; the further you move the mouse off center the faster it will rotate away from center. Virtual tours are made up of a number of shots taken from a single vantage point. (Reference: Wikipedia)
360 Virtual Tours are also a web-based interactive image but it allows the viewer to look at any angle (up, down, left, right) to view an image in a full 360 degrees. Some virtual tours link multiple spherical images together using hot spots. While you are viewing, you may see a button within the image that you can click on to jump to the new image (ex. moving from room to room)
