saving questions for the present future and heads filled with the ideas. so get ready for the brain uptake. 42 big picture to almost everything. start september 10th on dw, the safari beach or a flight in a hot air balloon. we can travel around the world by a virtual reality. it's special for the environment and affordable, but just how fun out be on trips. our topic on shift the, the ideas sounds great, just pop on the headset and off you go to any place in the world or even to this some planets. yeah. tourism maybe in each product for now, but much of occasion is on the rise. maybe i'll try is market is forecast to

explode from over 4500000000. yours to 5 times that figure by 2027. about one 5th of people serve it in gemini. think the future of travel lies in the mets of us. and even one 4th of respondents on the 35th, we address a viable possibility. but what's already possible today? i guess you all travel a try with apparel glancing over the himalayas, living in sweden or smoking in mexico. we are, can take us anywhere in just a few clicks, you'll list away from your couch to some far away destination. travel agencies promote chill vacation vide without the c o 2 emissions, or the high cost. you can buy your own interactive travel experience with this with 10 euros in the app store. so i'm not even free of charge. the agencies offer them

to promote the destinations and attractions the technology can help you plan a trip. is there room big enough? how far away the beach? oh, you can even go on the whole trip from the comfort of your home. most of the experience you need a good b r headset. the models with no display could use a smartphone instead. cheap ones go for about $100.00 euros headsets with a built in display, a bit more expensive metric less it's a real hit. it has a price like a $450.00 euro, but that's still a lot cheaper than going on a real trip. the that's crunch some numbers. say actually i from gemini to the diamond, went to a round trip ticket to my costs $850.00 euro in the process. more than 3.5 tons of c of to i meant to put the problem on the approximately 24000 kilometers of flight

. the may be a great alternative for people who are unable to travel to places because of physical restrictions. but for now, virtual traveling comp quite compete with taking real vacation headsets constantly the sense of taste, smell of feel, but they have to the best available for consumer use. now, the traveling does away with a new sense of like big crowds wishing and lines and jet black. and you might try a few daring activities you would be comfortable with in real life. a sect taking off in a hot avenue all whitewater rafting. i noticed that the pipe built into different wells, the more realistic the experience felt ex, let's call this emotion, but what happens in our brains when images and sounds he has to create a virtual reality experience across a pond?

said mind st. information that yeah, well just like stimuli in the real world and that can take a real emotion. but the effectiveness depends on a few of the effect us. how exciting is the story? how sophisticated is the technology, high resolution images and a good refresh rate and show images on chopping all pick sedated, crushed on to get from the university. all handbook is convinced a great experience. the pest, mostly on the hardware use. he's a v, a expert researching human computer interaction, and he studies how real the experience a seem to up and downs by displaced even for us organ. we have to displays in front of the users eyes, which is the data is transmitted by have the optic nerve back to the visual cortex, optics. and from there, depending on whether they recognize or want to grasp the objects which this information is spread across the brain. by a neuron, so no, not invited to speak in this type words, images and noise and spend the virtual world are processed similarly to information in real life. we collect most of our information using our eyes. and our visual

protection also simulates our other senses. that's good news for be our users, because they may only be seeing images yet they taking the virtual worlds like real experiences and easily accessed the slides. just basically almost the same thing happens as in real life. and we collect information using our sensors and off on something a virtual world shown on the computer display 20. and we're here the 3 day sound and process. the information almost the same way is in reality at the 5 each person . first you is these virtual worlds differently, and it depends on the v r's quality to the users can feel emotions like joy or spirit. just like in real life. it's similar to watching scary movie or reading a thrilling, sorry. but b, r has one advantage. you're immersed in the sights and sounds of a virtual world,

making it more real photography the eyes on and if and how real and experience seems largely depends on the technology you use. and the way the virtual world is displayed on somebody's as low. but as soon as you think you're really in that world and you feel the presence of and you kind of full your brain, but i'll skip 6, not really understood how realistic dark deals depends on many factors. even minor hiccups like a bad internet connection can spoil the illusion and your experience. for now, users are aware that they're in a virtual world from wearing a headset that makes it hard to completely so no reality. but that may change in the future is either one of the things that the course of these headsets are still pretty big and heavy and rather clunky field. it's like wearing heavy scapes all those stuff. and also, so we see the next generation of these devices shrinking and size. i know many more like sunglasses. for instance, let's, let's name them. if you want to try and have

a right now, you need to be a headset, a path sunglasses won't cut it, but you can jump back in time to the past. and this city's like london would have passed on dana. and this guy, the 2 visits this can go back in time right with this standing. but you need a versatile team to make the a was as realistic as possible. i met with his turns 3, the autism and the intimate was in cologne. to take a trip to the 20th century to virtual reality time right brings the past to life. the team uses film clips, sound recordings and photos to rebuild the world the way it used to be. how exactly did the buildings and vehicles look the the research department at the time? i've compiled information to create a city map, 3 d, or does things a map the contract. the virtual world details are accurately simulated in b r. but what's more important than the buildings or the animated figures,

the more realistic they look, the better the experience. so the $103.00, the developers conduct meticulous research. what did people wear back then? how about bed with a who was out and about to make them look as realistic as possible. the animated figures, clothes are recreated using patterns and the people themselves are designed with great care seeking this house. how does the prism that has like a short here long here? how long is there news? is that here like this or like that and so on. and so right that, and let me put that all together from an animator brings to finished reading 3 years to life and use of the motion capture through to record his movements. so yes, can you videos to be calibrated to calibrate the suit? he uses mongers, that mack, his body's position and orientation. then his physical movements animate the figures digital motions

it takes the 20 person team about 3 months to create one of the historical worlds. and these worlds even draw in international visitors. places like random birth date are known across the globe to the story surrounding them aren't always defining points in history like the end of world war 2 or the fall of the berlin wall appealed to a broad, international audience. time travel is canal immerse themselves in this history and sometimes even directly compared to then and now as a truck for time can help us better understand how life used to be because the travelers become part of the action. yeah. can replace a real trip help or pass a one or provide a whole new experience altogether. like in this to us through the german capital. this is pop, stomach flats and berlin today. and in 1920 and this guided

tour visitors go back in time, right. but they are. the pilot historian talks about how berlin was used to live. she shows them germany's 1st traffic light here, visitors get to step into historical berlin on a virtual trip there. sure to remember you can take virtual visits to ancient cultural sites to an experience room and its golden age, or towards the famous baltic template complex and living on all things to be are what are they for going on trips use in school or at a university good be our technology enables users to take part in advance of creating a unique experience. they won't forget we are technology helps people learn visual leave. users can explore historical settings, for instance,

making history more lies and tangible. studies have shown that students who use virtual, an ottoman in reality take greater interest in learning. they perform better academically than other studying with conventional methods that we are learning. market is forecast to grow from 6000000000 euros in 2021 to 32000000000 in 2026. we are brought into arises museums like the moment in new york with the rights museum and amsterdam have 3 real a tourist. you can also take a virtual visit to the state on museum and frank. first, it's one of germany's oldest museums. the collection has been constantly changing since 1816. using a v r headset. you can watch the art and the museum itself changed throughout time . i think this sounds quite exciting. which arossi of a so many possibilities how this instance our travel plans. it's always on this for

yeah, that's put into i looked into this. i do think we are, has the potential to change tourism and it's, but i don't really think it will replace traveling altogether to move this, but it gives you the opportunity to plan trips for instance. i as if i said like, is this the right hotel for me? let's base do i want to go to bad restaurants, the whole end of the team? and i think the art gives us a thrilling opportunity to have these experience as have been advanced, or to preserve them by visiting exciting places. again, virtually it's fun to watch. a lot of chunk of the travel could become a good alternative to conventional travel. also to help protect the climate. what do you think? are you going to keep packing your bags or what a headset suffice? let us know. that's it for me today. so you next time and 5 for now. the
