Take a VR walk in Rio de Janeiro

Did you know that NBC announced that at least 85 hours of Olympic coverage will be available in a virtual reality format. This is certainly big news for NBC, Samsung and the VR community in general.
 
RIO DE JANEIRO - July 3, 2016 - PRLog -- In view of the Olympics 2016, the Belgian company Nuvia achieved a worlds first by capturing Rio de Janeiro's hot spots in Virtual Tours. The result gives the potential visitors the ability to explore the city in a near to real life experience and gain trust with the environment. Customers can navigate and explore entire restaurants, bars, stores, etc. whether they're on their desktops, tablets or smartphones.

Some very nice examples can be found on www.virtualtour.city/rio2016 or have a look at http://rio.virtualtours.city/ and enjoy your walk. We would appreciate if you could spread the word and mention this initiative on your website or other media channels.

The progress of technology within the retail and e-commerce industry is shaping up with changing consumer behavior and interaction. The industry is embracing technology to capitalize on consumer needs, enhancing customer experience and increase brand awareness.

Shopping is an area where 'virtuality' will have a real impact. Smartphone users want a 3D selfie that can be used as an avatar to try on clothes online, and 64 percent would like the ability to see an item's actual size and form when shopping online.

Now, however, the time has come for a playful idea to be turned into marketable applications, and 2016/2017 will mark its breakthrough. And everyone wants to get involved: In addition to the existing major head-mounted display providers such as Google and Facebook, others such as Samsung, Sony, Kodak, Ricoh, Zeiss, and HTC are exploring the market as well.

In our opinion, the travel industry in particular will benefit from its ROI and should go with this trend because of its visual and emotional product features.

For everyone who needs a quick vacation getaway, the latest virtual reality trend will change everything.  With the help of state-of-the-art technologies, people can now digitally transfer themselves from their own home or a travel agency to a variety of vacation destinations.
