Some benefits of using virtual tours include:
- They display instantly what’s difficult to describe without physically being at a location. Virtual tours provides a way to immersively show, rather than just tell.
- They provide a novel way to connect with and engage your audience of learners.
- They give a feeling of exploring and learning within a realistic environment. This is especially suited for educating about subjects that have a three-dimensional aspect, like interior design, architecture, or universal design for the home.
- Virtual environments and experiences are game-like, popular with youth audiences. Gamification is a trend in education to make experiences more engaging and impactful.
- VR technology, like virtual tours, helps overcome barriers of: distance, access hours, and pandemic concerns bringing remote educational locations to the viewer’s home.
- Virtual tours can be used to remotely share what classroom and in-person teaching facilities are like to instructors.
