Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing an audio-guided in-door virtual reality (VR) tour. An exemplary system may include a communication interface configured to receive input from a user and to output media contents, a memory storing computer-readable instructions, and at least one processor coupled to the communication interface and the memory. The computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the at least one processor to perform operations. The operations may include displaying a view of a 3D VR environment and playing an audio guide associated with the view. The operations may also include detecting, during the playing of the audio guide, a target operation input by the user to alter the view. In response to the detection of the target operation, the operations may include adjusting, based on the detected target operation, the view with respect to a fixed point position within the 3D VR environment.
