Virtual Tours & Virtual Reality for Libraries
Explore places, cultures, and perspectives from around the world.
Virtual Tours & Virtual Reality provide libraries with access to immersive digital experiences that support public learning and expand access to technology—no hardware required. These experiences can take readers inside a book, offer new perspectives on historical events, and introduce library members to new experiences and ways of understanding the world. Virtual experiences help learning feel visual, tangible, and memorable for learners of all ages.
Libraries use Virtual Tours & Virtual Reality in a variety of ways, including:
- Creating engaging self-guided exploration experiences that spark curiosity and invite discovery
