About the Site:
Right in the midst of a dynamic and emerging technology, 360 Virtual Tourist provides an experience closest to reality in the world of photography. The whole concept revolves around the fact that flat 2D pictures will never show the whole story. 360° Virtual Tour provides a new avenue for viewers to feel like they are actually in the picture where they can explore and interact with their fingertips.
History/Background:
360 Virtual Tourist started as a blog website https://360virtualtourist.com on May 2012. It showcases the Photographer’s 360° panoramic photos and travel blog from different countries in Asia.
360 Virtual Tourist was previously a registered sole-proprietorship business in Singapore until 2018 and is now based in Sydney, Australia. Established in February 2013, it has since proven its place in the emerging virtual tour industry in Singapore with our list of world-renowned clients and their iconic properties.
