“…Comparing objectively the results between Virtual with Corporeal tours is not an easy task. Some experiments try to expose participants to similar scenarios, but this implies that VT must be limited, as it can use different mediums to present information [16].…”

“…Researchers that evaluate learning gains by presenting similar information found that there are no significant learning differences between virtual and physical trips that expose students to similar content [17]. In contrast, studies that present different information [16], [18] state that has more learning gains compared to CT. Immersive VFTs offer educational opportunities that generate heightened feelings of presence; but an augmented sense of presence does not inevitably result in an increase in an enhanced perception of learning among elementary students [19].…”

A virtual tour is a guided tour facilitated through Virtual Reality (VR) technology. The primary focus of this paper is on Virtual Tours of Facilities (VTF) within academic contexts. These VTFs employ VR as a medium to provide immersive educational experiences within facilities, such as laboratories, industrial sites, and universities. Our study advances three hypotheses: firstly, that continuous variables distinguish VTFs; secondly, that VTFs offer distinct inherent advantages and disadvantages in comparison to conventional in-person visits; and thirdly, that various software types and developmental approaches for virtual tours can be systematically categorized based on their technical attributes and usability factors. Through a snowball rolling literature review method, we analyze 32 studies to identify current research trends, pinpoint gaps, and highlight areas of interest related to VTF. The ensuing analysis explores VTF applications, associated challenges, and potential technologies, culminating in a comprehensive and insightful overview of the field.
