Essentially, VR Photos and Videos of a property or location act as a more credible source. Unlike traditional photos, VR Photos can’t be creatively framed to crop out certain information. This gives the viewers a perception of sincerity and trust for your location. Travelers report that one of their top hurdles is fear of the unknown. VR photo tours reassure clients and customers by providing so much credible information.
