Accessibility statement for virtualtour.aalto.fi site

The virtualtour.aalto.fi website was launched on 3 February 2021 and is a subject to the EU's accessibility directive, the aim of which is to ensure equality in a digitalised society and set uniform requirements for accessibility.

About the service 

The virtualtour.aalto.fi website contains 360 panoramas and videos of different campus facilities in order to offer different users an opportunity to explore Aalto University campus regardless of the geographical location. The service can be accessed from desktop, mobile and any VR headset by typing virtualtour.aalto.fi into the browser window.  

This is the Minimum Viable Product version of the service that has limited number of locations and just enough features to satisfy early customers and provide feedback for future product development. The service will be further developed later in 2021 based on the feedback that we will receive during the user testing and development suggestions from different stakeholders.   

In designing this service, we took into account the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. as much as it was possible within the scope of the Minimum Viable Product version. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). Our objective is to achieve Level AA accessibility when the service is fully developed.   

Recommended browsers 

The virtualtour.aalto.fi site can be used with the most common browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Edge and Apple Safari. We recommend using the latest published versions of Internet browsers for both mobile and desktop devices.
