Around the world in 80 VR experiences

TECH RADAR, June 2017

The growing popularity of consumer VR headsets is presenting content creators, educators, app developers and travel companies with a great opportunity to let audiences experience parts of the world they’ve never seen – and which they might never get the chance to see – without leaving their living room.

It’s easy to turn your nose up at VR travel, writing it off as something that’s solely a tool for travel agents to flog holidays or a cheap thrill for the unadventurous.
