Uniting the World ?

 

 

That is the idea / experiment taking shape in Vilnius ( Lithuania ) and Lublin ( Poland ) , as per following news report :

Vilnius, Lithuania built a ‘portal’ to another city to help keep people connected 

Extract :

Ø  The city installed a circular “door” for the portal near its train station that connects to a portal in Lublin, Poland, about 600 kilometers (or roughly 375 miles) away. The portals both have large screens and cameras that broadcast live images between the two cities— a kind of digital bridge, according to its creators— meant to encourage people to “rethink the meaning of unity,” Go Vilnius said in a press release. Aw.

Ø  the project is “a bridge that unifies and an invitation to rise above prejudices and disagreements that belong to the past.”

Ø  There are plans to add portals in other cities in the future, organizers say. 

===================================================

Is this :

Ø  Virtual Reality ( VR ) ?

Ø  Augmented Reality ( AR ) ?

I don’t know what to call it, since it does not require you to buy an expensive Head-Set / Glasses ( - connected to broadband internet ? )

You may want to name it “ REAL reality “ – which many can EXPERIENCE simultaneously, in REAL TIME !

It is not a different experience for different people

Question :

Rather than peering into a very large screen ( by many people walking on the street ), can this REAL-TIME viewing / visiting, ANY PLACE on the earth, be brought onto my bedroom TV Screen ?

This will happen. May not be within next 2 years, but very likely within next 5 years !

It will enable TOURISM WITHOUT TRAVEL

Not only to RICH people ( who are fed up of packing / unpacking bags and checking into umpteen flights ), but also to :

Ø  POOR people ( who cannot afford cost of physical travel , all over the world )

Ø  OLD ( and / or ) SICK people, confined to their homes / beds

To know the developing contours of this vision, look up my following earlier e-mail :

Extract :

How can/should the INDIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY, turn the present dismal business scenario, into an opportunity ?

 

Answer :

 

          By tying up with Roomality

 

          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

 

   To start with, Roomality might install its hardware / software infrastructure at

   CINEMA HALLS around the world . 

 

   Once the prices drop ( with competing companies coming out with similar

   technologies ), such installations will reach individual homes

 

    

   For Indian Tourism Industry, becoming VIRTUAL seems like an answer, in order

    to cater to billions of people around 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

    #  Not that transportation will be necessary with the rise of telepresence.             This involves connecting your mind to that of a robot in a distant place.             Nerve taps will send synthetic signals to your sensory organs as part

         of a simulation that will allow you to feel as if you were really at that                  location after all. 

          This is the future of  tourism, business meetings, and expeditions

            #  “ As of 1 March 2020, SpaceX has launched 302 Starlink satellites.

                 They plan to launch 60 more per Falcon 9 flight, with launches as

                 often as every two weeks in 2020. In total, nearly 12,000 satellites are

                planned to be deployed, with a possible later extension to 42,000. “

                 in that square ), to anyone in the World, in real time !
