CampusTours Introduces 'The Virtual Tour Choir'

The new Middle Tennessee State University virtual tour also includes:

    --  Photorealistic Interactive Campus Map -- CampusTours worked closely with
        Middle Tennessee State University to produce a stunning
        three-dimensional photorealistic rendering of campus (see
        www.tinyurl.com/MTSUmap/).  The entire interactive portion of the campus
        map experience is content-managed by MTSU through the CampusTours
        MultiMedia Engine software.
    --  InteractiveVideo Virtual Tours -- CampusTours InteractiveVideo virtual
        tours give institutions the ability to keep the main tour videos under
        three minutes in running time, while allowing users to leap out of the
        main videos for supplemental content at any point during the experience.
    --  Content Managed Map/Video Coordination -- Map/Video Coordination allows
        MTSU to highlight facilities and locations on the campus map tab at the
        precise instant they are discussed in the videos - and update them when
        the videos change or new ones are added. To see an example of
        MTSU's Map/Video Coordination, follow this link:

    --  Commentary in Context -- Each of MTSU's videos and map locations
        are keyword-tagged inside the MultiMedia Engine content management
        system, and video commentary that is relevant to those keywords is
        offered dynamically throughout the tour (note how members of the
        "elevated choir" glow when InteractiveVideo cuepoints are
        reached). This allows MTSU to work in hundreds of individual commentary
        video clips, keeping the tour experience fresh for return visitors.  To
        see an example of Commentary in Context, check out MTSU's Walker
        Library: http://www.tinyurl.com/MTSUcommentary
