Visiting the historical sites of Japan with "virtual reality"

2018年 09月21日


It is already possible to visit the ancient Egypt, the ancient Rome and many other historical cities from your couch at home with VR headset, but why not go to the place to revive the history which unfolds aroud you?

The market of the virtual reality is burgeoning, and it is used increasingly at the sightseeing tours. Japan does not stop to find the new idea for developping the sightseeing more entertaining.
 
Today, we can go to the ruins of Asuka, a very famous archeological site in Japan. Accoring to the archeologists and resarchers, it was used to be a dignified imperial city with great civiliisations. So why not take a chance to go and visit the site by virtual reality? Let's imagine that you walk on the field and be in that huge city where you find the imperial palace far away. You can imagine also the people coming back to life, walk and wearing the costue of that period. You can also gaze at the Edo castle which that you cannot find today. This project is conceived by Asuka Lab. It is still under the development, and there are still many tasks to do, but this idea is under the construction and it will set the tone for a beautiful future. Japan is enthusiastically working for developing the tourism, especially for the rural areas still rarely visited. And this innovation will stimulate the economy of remote villages.
