Virtual reality tech applied at President Ho Chi Minh memorial site
Authorities of Co To district in the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh is testing a 360-degree virtual reality application to provide a new experience for visitors to the President Ho Chi Minh Special National Memorial Site on Co To island.
According to head of the district’s office of culture, information and tourism Nguyen Hai Linh, by visiting this website https://vr360.com.vn/projects/khu-luu-niem-chu-tich-ho-chi-minh, tourists can experience a vivid preview of the monument and its tours.
Linh said the cost for this technology is low but produces high effectiveness in promoting and advertising tourist destinations in the area. This technology simulates audio and visual experiences of the monument, allowing visitors to hear commentary and view their surroundings in all directions, much like in real life.
Accessing this website, visitors can experience both free-style tours and pre-set itineraries, he said, adding that besides this monument, tourists can preview other attractions on Co To island such as Mong Rong beach, Co To lighthouse, and Truc Lam pagoda, thus visualising and planning their trips in a more detailed and effective manner.
In the coming time, this technology will be applied to showcase other destinations such as Truc Lam Co To pagoda, and Thanh Lan island, he went on.
