This is a very nice walkthrough and the narration was very informative.
It's amazing to anticipate all the other world famous places that can be showcased with this demonstration method.
There was an interactive 360 photo tour of Sistine Chapel but it didn't have any narration. I tried to find it again but all the google searches led to links that no longer it existed. I did find a "3D virtual" tour[1] but it's a visualization that blends photos with CGI models and not the same stiched-photos website I remember.
I do hope later tours get enhanced with stereo[1] photos so viewers can get a better sense of depth in the space. The photographers would use 2 cameras spaced apart instead of just one. I figure if the crew is going to go through all the trouble of traveling to a site and capturing a space, they might as well bring 2 cameras for stereo images.
The piano in the main studio as well. He is "animated" for lack of a better word, at certain angles. The sound even moves through your headphones as you move around as if you were in the room.
