Virtual tourism won't replace IRL travel but certainly stands to augment our options for exploring the world. I'll never travel to Siberia or Tunisia again, and I'll likely never explore remote parts of the underwater world. But coming in second will be an experience capable of immersing me accurately and convincingly. And as air travel becomes less appealing and appealing parts of the world grow less accessible, this stands as a rich portal to those sites. Add full-body haptics and bring a friend to the experience, and the experience becomes that much more visceral and memorable.

There are no limits to the destinations you can experience in Virtual Reality - imagine diving or snorkeling the great barrier reef in VR? Making the experience accessible to many people with mobility impairments for the first time... And all without causing any damage to the delicate ecosystem of the underwater environment... Where in the world would YOU like to visit in VR?

Join us for an international travel adventure without leaving Camarillo using the #vr application Alcove! As fun as it is, virtual reality is also being widely used in some uncommon ways. For example, VR has proven to help improve quality of life and a sense of well-being by reducing loneliness, addressing depression, and reducing barriers to socialization through common experiences. According to the study “Impact of Virtual Reality Experience on Older Adults’ Well Being” published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Design and Management and MIT AgeLab, "VR is believed to be beneficial to older adults due to its immersive interaction capabilities. "Participants who used the VR system reported being less socially isolated, being less likely to show signs of depression, experiencing positive affects more frequently, and feeling better about their overall well-being.” #virtualreality #health #seniors #loneliness #socialisolation #digitalliteracy #virtualtravel
