You can typically watch virtual tours from your phone or computer.
However, some virtual tours are best viewed from a virtual headset. Fortunately, these headsets are affordable and use your phone as the display. A quick search on your favorite online retailer should provide you a few options of headsets to purchase.
If you’re interested in filming these virtual tours yourself, you’ll need a decent 3D or 360 camera. My husband and I use the Theta V.

Virtual Runs
While you can visit our beautiful national parks at this time, you can also recreate the experience of walking or running through nature via virtual run videos.
This one from Treadmill TV on YouTube is a virtual run of the Grand Canyon.
Treadmill TV offers hundreds of videos to choose from that are recordings of someone walking a scenic route. Because these videos are hosted on YouTube, you can change the playback speed from a “normal” walking speed to 2x which is a great running speed.
