Development Framework for Web-Based VR Tours and Its Examples

This paper treats a development framework for web-based VR tours of 360VR camera images/videos and lidar scanner data and introduce several example VR tours actually developed using the framework. Because of the advancement of XR(VR/AR/MR) technologies such as lidar scanners, 360VR cameras and high specification VR goggles, the demand of XR applications has become increased. However, the development of such XR applications is tedious work that needs much time. Therefore, the authors have proposed the development framework for web-based VR tours of 360VR camera images/videos and lidar scanner data and this paper introduces it and several VR tours as its examples.
