The one thing I consistently wish for, and maybe I should get on it...
Field trips. Highly accurate (to the best of our ability) and high quality, free-roam field trips. Present day, or through time. I would LOVE to visit historical sites from various time periods, to see them in their (as known) beginning, prime, and decay.
The amount of research and work to be done to accomplish that would be staggering... but the potential for improved global and historical understanding, the impact on education, and just weeknight entertainment would be immense.
I've seen a couple primitive efforts, and they were a bit disappointing.
Let me walk around a living 19th century England. Let me visit Dylan Thomas in his writing cabin. Let me see the Parthenon and Han Dynasty China.
I would love to have this 15 years from now. Sooner, if possible!

- 52-6F-62 9y agoThanks for passing that along. It's a step in the right direction. I want, greedily, a fully immersive, interactive view of historical places in their time, or at different times. I'll definitely have a look at this, though.
