Virtual tourism is like Soylent. Soylent doesn't replace good food. It replaces crappy fast food. Virtual tourism won't replace going to an art gallery for real. It replaces never going at all.
I could see it really enriching the lives of those who can't afford to travel.
I do it myself sometimes with Google street view. I'll go "visit" some random place.
- arnaudsm 8y agoI agree, I've spent way too much time on Google Earth VR ! But I still think virtual tourism will stay niche in the future because of the social reasons I stated.
