VR tourism allows anyone to experience new and exciting locations without actually leaving their home.
Calls to return to work grew louder once the threat posed by Covid-19 subsided and the economy began to recover.
These tours can be viewed on computers, smartphones, and in VR if you have a headset available, and include culturally rich destinations like George Town and Kuching, along with educational sites such as the Telegraph Museum and the Telekom Museum. Though Street View lacks audio voice-overs, it makes up for it with the sheer number of locations available, and users could be exploring the Taj Mahal one moment and the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum the next.
Certain tourist hotspots like museums, landmarks and heritage sites have their own websites too, with self-guided tours that support desktop, smartphone and VR. Generally, tours on Heygo are free, with the option to tip guides or broadcasters – you can join a tour that’s currently live or book one that’s been scheduled for later., which similarly offers livestreamed tours with a guide showing viewers the local sights and sounds but, unlike Heygo, requires a fee for each tour.
