"Wonders of the web grand tour" by James Knight

Explore the Taj Mahal -- 5-Stars: A thrillingly executed virtual tour is the 21st-century cyber-traveller’s equivalent of the grand tour. Swooping through an exotic landscape, photographed in ravishing detail, is one of the most arresting of desktop experiences. “Immersive” is the buzzword; “wow” a frequent exclamation. Rival technologies have reached various pitches of perfection to bring us privileged glimpses into other ways of life, and this tour of the Taj Mahal offers a benchmark, so download the latest version of QuickTime before setting off [QT no longer needed]. Sumptuous wraparound panoramic views, which the visitor must rotate to move through, show off the 17th-century royal mausoleum at Agra in astonishing detail. Sitar flourishes and an intelligent audio commentary accompany a stroll through the Paradise Gardens into such restricted areas as Mumtaz Mahal’s tomb, while an arrow locates you on the accompanying 3-D map.
