A VR panorama (VR for virtual reality) is a specially created computer image that goes all the way around the viewer. It is a revolutionary way to document a particular place and time – the next best thing to being there.

VR panoramas are interactive.
Use the mouse to rotate the panorama, use Shift and Control to zoom in and out.
