Virtual Reality photography (VR) is a superb way of placing people into an environment and allows them to interact with it. This type of imagery goes one more than the saying that photography speaks a thousand words as this type of image speaks millions.

VR images can be grouped together into Virtual Tours providing a great tool for showing people around establishments online from the comfort of their home, office or now even mobile devices. Virtual tours can also be displayed on interactive screens, kiosks, television panel’s etc…

A virtual tour can add a lot of value to online marketing and become a worthwhile investment. The average time spent viewing VR images is between 2 – 3 minutes, a virtual tour of 10 images can keep someone’s attention for up to 30 minutes. People enjoy interacting with virtual tours and often share them with friends and family.

These tours are a great tool when marketing property for sale or rental. Peter Stephens, a photographer based in Devon produces many of these images for estate agents, holiday homes, hotels etc… and they have proved to be of great benefit to his clients.

Good examples of virtual tours can be found here;
