Virtual tours

(1) A virtual tour is a simulation of an existing location, usually composed of a sequence of video images. Other multimedia elements may be used as well, such as sound effects, music, narration, and text. The camera and lens used for this is rotated around what is referred to as a nodal point, which is the exact point at the back of the lens where the light converges. A virtual tour is a variety of video and photographic based media. The panarama based content indicates an unbroken view, since a panarama can be either a series of photographs or panning video footage. Generally virtual tours are made up of shots taken from a single vantage point known as the nodal point, which is mentioned above.
(2) I will use virtual tours in my classroom to show my students places and teach them about things and places that they will most likely never be able to visit. I will use virtual tours to show my students museums that have Aztec and Mayan art and other such things. I want my students to be able to see places in Spain and Mexico as well that they would never get to see otherwise.
(3) Pros of virtual tours include that people have opportunities to see and learn about places and things that they may not otherwise get to see and/or learn about. Cons include that you may never know if some things are actually truly what they are said to be.
