Mapwing Lets You Create Your Own Virtual Tours

Mapwing lets you build and share virtual tours that include interactive maps, images, and comments. The process is simple. First, go somewhere. Then, stand in place, take a picture, and rotate 90º. Take another picture. Continue rotating and snapping photos until you’ve covered this spot. Next, walk, drive, bike, hop, or crawl to a nearby location. Take more pictures. Repeat locomotion and photography.

Later, when you’re home, upload the images to Mapwing, and publish your virtual tour. If you’re confused, the easiest way to learn the process is to see it in action. I found Sarah’s walk with her dog, Charlie, to very clearly demonstrate the power of Mapwing.

I also found the tour of the Ukraine’s Ostraya Mogila Memorial interesting. Finally, while not probably in line with what the creators intended, the tour of Lenny’s digestive system is priceless.
