Pink city Jaipur gets a Virtual makeover

• Right from our childhood, we have been taught
  about the rich heritage of our country India.
  India is a home to many historic places which
  have gained recognition all over the world. The
  Pink City Jaipur is one such city which has
  hidden many exotic places in her heart. The city
  is full of famous forts, enchanting palaces and
  lovely temples which spread their serenity and
  divinity over our motherland. Already a popular
  tourist attraction, efforts are now being made to
  spread its glory by adding a new and modern touch
  to it. This is when Virtual Reality rushes to
  help.
• VR lovers who are ready with their backpacks to
  explore something adventurous can now head to
  Jaipur because Virtual Reality booths at some of
  the major tourist spots will soon be erected in
  the city. These booths will allow the user to
  explore their famous monuments through
  walk-throughs created in 3D. All you have to do
  is just sit at the booth, put on your Oculus Rift
  3D headset -head mounted goggle and set your eyes
  on the screen before you, which will be connected
  to a PC and navigate the entire monument by using
  the navigation options. The Oculus Rift when
  connected, tracks the head movement and provide a
  3D imagery on the OLED display.

• So hold on your excitement level as I read the
  list of the places you will explore while sitting
  at these booths. Here it goes- Hawa Mahal, Jantar
  Mantar, Sheesh Mahal, City Palace of Jaipur and
  Udaipur, Albert Hall Museum and the famous gates-
  Chandpol Gate, Ghat Gate, Sanganeri Gate, Suraj
  Pol Gate, Samrat Gate, New Gate and Zorawar Singh
  gate. 
• While it is not possible for the travelers to
  explore their favorite destinations overtime due
  to lack of time, these virtual reality booths can
  be of great help as the travelers can take a
  quick view of their favorite places and even save
  a lot of time. This will also be helpful to
  promote the tourism of the country as more and
  more tourists would get attracted because of this
  new feature. 
• Especially the younger generation who is quite
  tech-savvy and are crazy about VR.

  you know where to head right?
