Eyemmersive® is a project managed and developed by Kerckhoffs Ltd.
It is anticipated that to bringing a ‘live travel experience’ to non-tourists, virtual and augmented reality will play an important role in the tourism industry. Current scenario is that pre-recorded 360-degree videos are provided by individual people, tourism providers etc. There is a potential opportunity for a digital platform where immersive-tourism-experience seekers and travel-guides could meet. The availability of economical 360-degree camera equipment and VR headset would offer an exciting opportunity for people to make use of live immersive tourism experience.
