App Profile: Virtual Traveler

The Virtual Traveler is a series of 50+ virtual tours of historic sites from around the world. Each tour consists of a series of 360-degree panoramas that take visitors on a step-by-step tour of these historical monuments. Each scene contains audio narration, as well as embedded photos and videos (including aerial and 360-degree videos) to provide a "You Are There" experience. The fullscreen tours may be taken on an iMac, Macbook Air or Macbook Pro, iPad or iPhone. iPhone users may also select a "split screen option" which, when used in conjunction with VR headset such as VR Box or Google Cardboard, allows you to take a fully immersive tour of each site.

The app is a good resource for teachers seeking enrichment activities, as well as the armchair traveler. Tours are constantly being added. Virtual Traveler asks "Where Would You Like to Go Today?"

Please note that users must have internet access to take the tours.
