A virtual walk is a form of multimedia presentation of an object or place in a full 360 degree perspective around its own axis and 180 degrees in the up-down plane, completely interactive through cursor movements on the screen. Thanks to this virtual tour, the viewer has the impression of being physically in a specific space.
