Virtual tours on mobile devices
4 minute read
"Does this actually work on my phone?" is a question we get regularly — and the answer is a clear yes. In fact, most visitors these days view a tour on their phone, not at a desk. Below is what that means in practice.
No app, just the browser
A virtual tour from ohWAUW opens directly in the browser on your phone, tablet or laptop — via a simple link. No app to install, no account to create. Whoever clicks the link is looking around within a few seconds.
Controlled with fingers instead of a mouse
On mobile you navigate with taps and swipes instead of clicks: tap an arrow to move to the next room, drag to look around, tap a hotspot for more information. The experience is deliberately kept the same as on desktop — only the controls adapt to the device.
Why this is no longer an optional extra
A few years ago, "mobile-friendly" was still a bonus; today it's the standard expectation. A large share of traffic to a website comes via mobile, and a tour that doesn't work well there immediately loses a big part of its value. That's why we build every tour from the start for all screen sizes, not as a separate mobile version afterward.
What does this mean for your visitors?
Whether someone is browsing a holiday park on their phone from the couch, checking out a property on the go, or exploring an industrial facility on a laptop at the office — the experience stays equally smooth everywhere. That's exactly what sets a virtual tour apart from, say, a piece of 360° software that only works well on one type of device.
