Tour Wrist Brings The World To You
Tour Wrist (Free) by SPARK LABS is a universal, virtual travel app that lets you visit places all over the world through 360 degree high quality photographs. You can visit the most lavish hotels in the world, or just visit a coffee shop down the street, without having to leave your home or spend a dime.
Using the iPhone 4 or iPad 2’s gyroscope feature and augmented reality, you can take a walking tour of various points of interest with this app. As you turn to your left or right, or look up or down, you will see what the photographer saw. You will feel like you are right in the picture. If your iDevice does not have the gyroscope feature, or if you don’t feel like walking around, holding your iPad up to your face, you can view each tour by swiping in any direction on the screen. You will still be able to see all of the beauty and splendor that the images have to offer.
By searching locally, or by widening your search globally, you can find various tours to take, things like: points of interest, hotels, home tours and restaurants. There are currently over 22,000 tours to take, some displaying beautiful architecture and ancient artifacts and others merely showing the outside of a café. While taking the virtual tour, you can access more information about what you are viewing by tapping the “info” icon. You can also see other tours related to that same place, share images through Facebook and Twitter, and even book travel plans right from within the app.
It is hard to believe that something this amazing is free. There are no ad banners, no in-app purchases and no hidden subscription fees. It is a truly amazing photography and travel app that offers virtual tours of some very beautiful places. With the right tools and a registered account, you can even add your own tour. Pick up this universal app in the App Store today.
