Virtual Remote Tourism explores travelling and tourism in the future where augmented reality and spatial computing can turn a selfie into a fully inhabitable virtual space. In this world, location and distance is no longer the economic limitation for the experience of other places and cultures, as multiple cities can be overlapped wherever your body happens to be.
The project explores one of the many scenarios of virtual remote tourism, where the project digitally overlaid Bangkok on to London, as travelers can travel virtually and remotely to Bangkok, while being physically in London.

City is often gamified. Assassin's Creed is an action video game, where players are encouraged to navigate through the simulated city in order to gain points and clues to reach the destinations.
VR Chat and Sansar are second's life platforms, where users can interact with other players through virtual reality. The only way to travel from one world to the other is through the loading page.
