Can a VR museum tour show exhibits to people who cannot visit?

A VR museum tour can introduce selected exhibits and spaces to a remote audience. High5VR can discuss an immersive tour as an additional way to explore a collection. Its purpose should be clear: helping people become familiar with the museum, discover stories or plan a visit.

What should we consider?

Choose the exhibits and viewpoints that support the intended audience. Curatorial input is important when deciding what information accompanies the imagery. Small labels or fine details may require separate views or approved supporting content rather than relying on a wide filmed scene.

What needs to be agreed?

Consider how users will access the tour and what alternatives are appropriate. A headset experience and a screen-based presentation need their own delivery plan. Remote access also depends on the actual platform, device support and usability of the finished version.

How do we get started?

Share your collection priorities, available access and intended viewers. We can scope filming and supporting material with your team. A virtual tour offers another route into the museum’s stories, while the institution should approve the information and any representations before publication.
