Create a Virtual Tour (Intermediate level)

As an educator you may give your learners projects in which they can use their own initiative and creativity. As a facilitator it is your role to lead them to these ideas and to stimulate their creativity. One tool that could be suggested is a panoramic photo tool that can stitch photos together to offer 360 views, walk-round views of objects and virtual tours. Photosynth is an example of this kind of tool.

By the end of this task you could achieve the following outcomes:
