The content of the virtual tour

The virtual tour was created by three media students of Karelia UAS. The virtual tour consisted of 360-images from the surroundings and facilities of the rehab clinic. The photo shoot took place in a beautiful autumn day, so the outdoor surroundings were almost as good as if the photo shoot would have taken place in the summer. The students visited several locations in Tervassalo. Additional information, mostly descriptive and informative, was placed in the 360-images. It was also important to communicate the values of the company in the tour.
