Hello all…

Thanks for visiting! We have been hard at work here at Virtual Tour Group in re-designing our website. Our main goal has been to serve our customers better and reach potential clients. We will be launching several features in the coming months that are hopefully going to knock your socks off

If you have any feedback, we are anxious to hear it so please feel free to use the comments section below to let us know what you think!

Thanks!

We set out to challenge our selves and raise the bar in the world of virtual reality photography and it’s illustration. Working with one of the finest Galleries in New York City, The ACA Galleries, we created a Gallery Tour of their exhibition in August 2007.

The Gallery Tour was designed to be an interactive virtual tour that would enable someone who has never been to the ACA Galleries to explore and see Art works as if they were right there. We introduced several nice features such as detail views os actual Art pieces and display of information for each Art piece.

Why settle for a small box when you can have the full screen?

The New Technology
