With travel being restricted last year, the ancient Greece and Egypt VR tours became popular. With the metaverse though, developers plan to immerse visitors and re-enact events such as the American Civil War. So, not only will you be able to cross borders without having to leave your house, you’ll also be able to go backward in time.
There are plans for tourist metaverse apps that use mixed-reality, to guide drivers, give more information about monuments they are looking at, and bring people together for more enjoyable experiences. For example, a visitor to a museum could automatically receive further context or information, regarding the exhibits they see.
Moreover, with offices using the metaverse for collaboration as mentioned above, there is less need to travel large distances, which saves budgets and fuel. For students wanting to study at international universities, the costs will drastically come down with the requirement of room-and-board as well as travel being cut out of the picture.
