Digital cameras, in conjunction with computer software, make possible 360{sup o} photos allowing a person to look all around, up and down, and zoom in or out. Multiple 360{sup o} photos can be linked creating a virtual tour. Other information, such as sound files, flat photos and text can also be attached to the photos. A virtual tour of a building or room can be used for facility documentation, informing management and others, work planning and orientation, training and historical documentation, thus minimizing the need to re-enter hazardous areas. Reducing entries decreases exposure, increases safety and efficiency, and minimizes waste.
