a mariana evans team from me and the entire news team here in berlin. thanks for the company. the code named project cassandra, re determined through our investigations that has pull out was operating like a global drug court. not somebody normally seizures organizations, the objective to financially drain and bring them down to the team. agents from the american drug enforcement agency. i mean, as well as another whole lot. they wanted to go after their money. they had from lies themselves. we needed them to reveal that so world and to their own people. why did the us government suddenly shut down project cassandra in 2016?

03 pod documentary series. i'm asking has paula stats may 4th on d. w. safari speech 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 not 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. beatrice maybe a nice product for now, but much of occasion is on the rice cb, our travels market is forecast to explode from over 4500000000. yours to 5 times that figure by to a t $27.00. about once this of peoples serve it in gemini,

think the future of travel lies in the midst 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 have trouble a try whether paragliding over the himalayas, loving in sweden or smoking and mexico be our can take us anywhere in just a few clicks your wisdom way from your couch to some far away destination. travel agencies promote shield occasion 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 is the beach? all you can even go into whole trip from the comfort of your home. and most of the experience you need a good b r headset models with no display, you could use a smart phone instead. cheap ones go for about 100 year old headsets with a built in display are bit more expensive metal costs as 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 $3.00 tons of c o 2. i mentioned petrovna on the approximately 24000 kilometers of flight t. i mean, be

a great alternative for people who are unable to travel to places because of physical restrictions. but for now, virtual traveling con, quite compete with taking real vacation headsets constantly, the sense of taste, smell of feel. but they have to best available for consumer use. now the traveling does away with a new sense of like big crowds, switching and lines and jet black. and you might try a few daring activities you would be comfortable with in real life. like taking off in a hot apple doing 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 contract 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 the good refresh rate and show images on chopping or pick sedated. crushed on to get from the university of handbook is convinced a great experience, the pest, mostly on the hardware used. he's a v i x, the researching human computer interaction and his studies. how real the experience of seem to up and downs by displaced even for us. all good. we have to displays in front of the users eyes, which is the data is transmitted by 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 neurons will know, will not invito. but speaking just type. in other words, images and noises from the virtual world are processed similarly to information in real life. we collect most of our information using our eyes, and our visual perception also stimulates or other senses. that's good news for be

our users, because they may only be seeing images that they take in the virtual worlds like real experiences and easily accessible slices. basically, almost the same thing happens as in real life and we collect information using our sensors. i know if i'm, except in a virtual world shown on a computer display limit 100 and we're here the 3, the sound and process, the information almost the same way as in reality. it defies. each person perceived these virtual worlds differently, and it depends on the art 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 story. but the art has one advantage. you're immersed in the sights and sounds of a virtual world, making it more real to photography, the eyes on their lip 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 as soon as you think you're really in that world and you feel present and then you kind of fool your brain, but i'll skip 6. not really understand 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 because even one of the things about the left is course and these headsets are still pretty big and heavy and rather clunky field. it's like wearing heavy skiing, 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, that somebody named them. if you want the time to have a right now, you need to be a headset. a pass on clauses won't come,

that's what you've tens. i'm back in time to the past and this city is like london . what a pest of dana. and this guy, the 2 visits this can go back in time, right where the 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 compiles information to create a city map. 3 d artist, things the map, the contract. the virtual world details are accurately simulated and 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 where back then? how well fed with a, who was out in 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 now, 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 fun and 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 to use as markers that matt, as bodies position and orientation. then his physical movements animate the figures digital motions the

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 brandon 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 travelers, canal immerse themselves in this history and sometimes even directly compared to then. and now the truck through 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 hole in your experience altogether, like in this to us through the german capital. this puts dumber plots in berlin today. and in 1920 and this guided tour visitors

go back in time. right. but they are. the pilot historian talks about how berliners 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 same as fall back 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 visually . users can explore historical settings. for instance, making history more lies and tangible. the 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 go from 6000000000 euros in 2021 to 32000000000 in 2026. we are brought into arises museums like the moment in new york for the rights museum and amsterdam have free b r tours. 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 the v r headset, you can watch the art and the museum itself changed throughout time. i think this sounds quite exciting. which variety of a so many possibilities how this instance our travel plans. so this one is for this put in scale up until 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, if i said like, is this the right hotel for me? space? do i want to go to that restaurants? the whole end of the team? and i think the aren't gives us a thrilling opportunity to have these experiences have been advanced or to preserve them by visiting exciting places. again, virtually it's fun to watch a lot of strong come. yeah, 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. see you next time and 5 for now. the if we speak this term language, share the same culture. ours discrete 1000000

people in my district in just a 100 days. my parents are the big pots of my family. what cute. i'm on a journey to find out about the roots of the 1994 genocide games for to see rhonda . my name is some way to shimmer. i'm a shouldn't make or read shaming history next on d w here state plastics. one is non pines, most practical invention is threatening to suffocate its creation. but there is hope that we can get a grip on plastic pollution. how? let's have a look. tomorrow today w . conflict crises was every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality,

the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out. navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the the this is around a 1000, the hillsburg dies, the country i was born in 30 years ago when i was 2 years old. the genocide was committed here. my parents and the because of my family, what killed.
