Virtual reality refers to interactive images or videos which enable the viewer to explore

the entire 360 degrees of a scene. Unlike a regular image of video, which is shot from a
fixed view point, VR production captures every part of a location.

In the travel industry, virtual reality can be used to capture tourism destinations in a
unique and immersive way.
A VR tourism video works much like a normal video. They can be viewed on social
media or websites, but unlike a regular video, the user is able to explore the entire scene
whilst the video is playing.

VR tourism videos are captured using specialist cameras known as omnidirectional

cameras. These cameras film every angle of the destination at once. After filming, the
footage is taken back to the studio where it is stitched together in order to produce a VR
tourism video.
Basically, the operator can see what the robot sees, can hear what the robot hears. And of
course, if it is possible to help people operate and feel from afar, talking through robots is
not a problem.
ICub3 is 1.25 m tall and weighs 53 kg. According to the developers, other versions of the
robot may appear in the next 5-10 years.

Currently, iCub3 is training for the upcoming ANA Avatar XPRIZE - a global
competition to create a robotic system that can help send human senses to distant
locations in real time. If produced on a large scale, long-distance travel will become a
small thing for those who are passionate about travel but cannot afford to travel.
In the future, this robot will improve and bring people the best travel experience
