This couple of Virtual tours caught my attention on the Australian Version of SKY News – the had about 40 seconds dedicated to them!

These tours are a feature of the brand new website – The QE2.0 I suppose, which replace the old website which has been going since 1996.

With around 100 million hits a year it’s certainly got the potential to raise the profile of our craft.

Present at the launch was Sir Tim Berners-Lee, credited with inventing the world wide web, who had flown in from the US to insist in person that the site represented a great resource enabling anyone from Britain or abroad to find out how the monarchy worked. Media footage about the new site is certainly more interested in the “virtual room” technology than anything else.

The tours were created by Will Pearson and you can view a BBC video here.
