Virtual Guided Tours

A complete virtual experience of some place can be obtained only by a virtual tour where a professional guide takes users through the virtual panorama path where tourists would really pass. At each location the guide gives an explanation as if the user is on the spot, and the panoramas automatically move demonstrating what the guide explains. The user can independently choose which guided tour to go. For navigation the user can choose the automatic control guide, a topic list, the bookmark folder of all panoramas and all the icons of virtual panoramas.
