Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Tourism : Future is getting closer

 


 

Context :

Coming Soon : “ Mumbai Street View  / To boost tourism, high-end planning

( Times City – 25 Sept 2021 print edition )


Extract :


Ø  The Project

#  To prepare a 3D map of the city, with detailed aerial and STREET-LEVEL

     views of every locality

Ø  

#  A drone with high-res cams captured aerial images. 2-5 cm is the

    pictorial data resolution, thus making  the renderings realistic

    

#  In parallel, specialized camera-mounted vehicles captured views of

   STREET-LEVEL infrastructure .

    3,600 high definition STREET VIEW  IMAGES were fused with aerial

    pictures to create a GEOSPATIAL map of Worli


    

Ø  Shri Aditya Thackerayji ( Tourism Minister ) - adityathackeray@me.com


#  “ We are mapping EVERY LANE of Mumbai in 3D now, for a whole new

      REAL TIME PERSPECTIVE In decision making for the city “

   

     


My  Take :


After the break-out of Covid pandemic, tourism around the entire World came to a stand-still. That made me send following e-mail to Ministers of Tourism ( Central Govt and Maharashtra Govt )  :


Ø  Future of Tourism ? ……………………………[ 22 July 2020 ]



Extract :

 

It is about time the TOURISM industry asks of itself :

 

“ What business are we in ? “

 

Answer : 

 

“ We are in the business of bringing inside the home of a TOURIST, all the

 beautiful places of the entire World-anytime he desires to visit / view /

 experience, ANY place on the Earth

 

 And show him in 3D , any such place in REAL TIME ( ie: show him how exactly is

 that place looking, right at THIS MOMENT / what is happening at that place, right

 NOW ) ”

  

How can / should the INDIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY, turn the present dismal

business scenario, into an opportunity ?

 

 

By having “ TOURISM GUIDES ( humans ) “ walk around places in India, wearing

headsets ( like Jio Glass ? ) and streaming LIVE VIDEO BROADCASTS to Roomality

installations, all over the World


Dear Shri Prahlad Singh Patelji,

[ Minister for Tourism / prahladp@sansad.nic.in ]

I urge you to exploit this opportunity to make India

 , VIRTUAL  TOURISM  CAPITAL  of the world

 OF CONCEPT
