Articles and research on the use of virtual tours are few and far between.
VFMII.com has a few good ones at;
www.vfmii.com/knowledge.html
Even the definition of what a "virtual tour" is, is itself open to interpretation. I use the phrase for both 360° Interactive Images and tours using Streaming Video, like my Virtual Golf Course Tours

Hi Doug Thanks for those articles. Do you have the dates they were published? I also sent you an email I forgot that you wrote them.

I think the oldest one, They've Arrived Online, Now What, is almost 2 years old.
The other 2 were written after that
The biggest difference I happened to notice was a mention of how big the file is to download and install the QuickTime Player. I had 3MB and I changed it to 14MB, but I think its even bigger than that now
