Virtual tours
A virtual visit is composed of panoramic views that run through 360 degrees and that
linked to each other allow you to make a virtual tour of the place.
To navigate there are several options, depending on the particularities of each product:
• Icons (arrows, place marks) contained in the scenarios that move us to others.
• A drop-down list that allows us to access all available scenarios.
• An interactive auxiliary map (a satellite view of the area or a plan of the installation) with
the locations of the scenarios that allow us, in addition to accessing them, to know by
radar the exact place where we look when we turn the view.
Within each panorama there may be icons that allow us to expand details of objects,
photographs, documents and when passing over them with the cursor appears its
exponent footer; they can also show videos, or additional objects that are not on display.
In this way you can deepen all aspects that provide valuable knowledge, even beyond what
a real visit to the place could show us.
