Join From a Headset (Recommended)
Using a VR headset like the $199 Oculus Go, the Guest can look around naturally, seeing everything the Host sees in 360°, while conversing in real time. The Guest is fully immersed in a place, without actually being there.

A Guest can also join an Avatour session using any modern web browser on a mobile device, desktop or laptop. Each guest can pan the 360° Host video feed on their screen, while talking to the Host in real time.
