چکیده
Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, college tours are no longer available, so many students have lost opportunity see their dream school’s campus. To solve this problem, we developed a product called “Virtourgo,” university virtual tour website that uses Google Street View images gathered from web scraper allowing what campuses like even when unavailable during pandemic. The project consists 3/4 parts: script, GitHub server, Domains DNS Server, and HTML files. Some challenges met include scraping repeated pictures letting dropdown menu jump correct location. We solved these by implementing Python Javascript functions specifically target such challenges. Finally, after experimenting with all website, confirmed it works as expected can scrape deliver any campus or public buildings want.
