A Virtual Reality Tour
While I was staying in Tokyo, I saw the interesting news about a new 3-D virtual tour in Tokyo. That unique special tour is organized by the travel agency (Kinki Nippon Tourist Co.). On this tour, you wear 3-D smart glasses and visit some places. You can get a 3-D virtual reality look at what Tokyo looked like during the Edo Period by wearing the glasses. For example, if you stand in front of Nihonbashi, you can see the old wooden bridge of Nihonbashi in Edo period (1603-1867) through the glasses. In the same way, if you stand in front of the Imperial Palace, the Edo Castle will emerge corresponding to your eyes' movement. The old images have an overlap with current buildings. So, with and without the glasses, you can compare the past and present of Japan.
Nowadays, the virtual glasses are not new, but I think this tour must be interesting. Especially, if you are interested in Japanese history, you can be transported back in time to the Edo era. This kind of tour may become widespread. In fact, the 3-D tours will be available in other parts of Japan, too. The tour has already started.
