Java is a good all-round applet (a small application running inside a bigger one, like a web browser) which is swift to download, and is installed on almost all PCs, as well as being accessible from mobiles and handheld devices. It’s a useful technology for virtual tours, presenting both full and small screen tours, but some older computers struggle to present tours at fullscreen through Java.
