VR is becoming commodotized, framing the problem for VR is the really tough part that requires the hard work.

Similar to the BTC problem. Cool tech, finding applications is tough.....

There's a lot of people trying to do the same thing, what do you understand about these virtual tours and the experience around them that other people(many other people) in this space simply fail to key in on?

Cheers Kumarski, good point totally agree! VR is just one part of our media. It has been looked at as the game-changer in the travel industry, however we have seen that users are interested in seeing realtime visual information, to see how any place looks like at any time as well as the option of VR.

Our focus is on creating and engaging a community in order to have our members review and rate the media to continuously display only what is relevant and updated.

We also try to portray each location through the eyes of its locals, rather than tourist/traveller perspectives, as many others rely on.

Also the visual domain is an extension of the end-to-end planning and booking experience we are working with our early users to achieve, to help make better informed travel and booking decisions, rather than just display visual tours etc
