A Study on Virtual Tour After the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Even if the COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end, we think virtual tour has its own unique appeal and may continue to be accepted by consumer as a useful service. We have divided virtual tours into three categories: A. Real-time participation type, B. On-demand video viewing type and C. Head-mounted display type. Hypotheses for A, B and C were proposed and tested through questionnaires and other means. The results supported the hypotheses related to A and B, but not C. Some of the virtual tour may continue as a useful service even after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, but not all virtual tour is accepted.
