Is China Mobile's 5G+VR a boost or a drag on tourism?

The epidemic in 2020 pressed the pause button for the whole country. The world seems to have frozen overnight. A country with a population of1300 million can't be seen in an instant, and there is no traffic or crowds. If you look at it from high altitude, you will feel that the world is asleep.

Is the world really like this? No, this1400 million people are closely linked in a network world, as prosperous and lively as the real world. All this is because of the rapid development of network communication technology, especially the current 5G network, which has changed the original development mode and communication mode of human beings in some ways.

With the advent of 5G communication, VR technology is also included. Together, the two have greatly changed the rhythm of the world. In the face of this unprecedented epidemic, modern communication technology is a small test, for example, home office, online teaching and so on. Too many new forms of entertainment have also helped us spend too much boring time. Although you are trapped in a corner, you can always connect with the outside world. Even when traveling, you can wander around the world without leaving home.

Many things that need to be done manually in the real world can be done in the network at this time. Although this day is forced to come ahead of time, once it forms a trend, it will be overwhelming and will completely change the way of life of mankind. People will not feel lonely in life, but also experience more new things, understand different world customs and participate in more social activities.

All this benefits from modern network communication technology, especially the application of 5G communication technology and VR technology, which makes things that used to need to be done by yourself become things that can be realized without leaving home. This is the change brought by modern science and technology. Although some things are virtual, they can also bring you an immersive experience.

As we all know, this epidemic has dealt an unprecedented blow to tourism. Just when everyone was complaining bitterly, some travel platforms launched virtual travel, also called VR+ travel. Although this is a strange new thing for most people, at least it makes everyone understand one thing, that is, you can travel around the world without leaving home. Although the experience is not as good as expected, it can at least give you a basic understanding of where you want to go.

So, what is VR+ tourism? VR tourism is virtual tourism. As the name implies, it is a tourism industry made of VR technology. Based on the real tourist landscape, it uses virtual reality technology to put people in the scenic spots. Through simulated or surreal scenery, build a virtual three-dimensional tourism environment, so that you can visit the beautiful scenery thousands of miles away in the three-dimensional virtual environment without leaving home. The image is vivid and meticulous.

But can VR tourism, a new tourism model, change people's previous inherent travel methods? Is it a kind of promotion or resistance to the development of tourism? Start with the following analysis:

First of all, let's take a look at those groups that virtual tourism is most suitable for.

1, people who are limited by their own conditions and have specific travel intentions. Everyone's heart is eager to walk the Wan Li Road and see all kinds of scenery. However, due to the limitations of their own conditions, such as health status, income status, traditional travel methods and so on. This wish is so hard to come true that they regret it for life. Then virtual tourism can help these people realize their dreams.

2. People who don't like the current tourist atmosphere and conditions. For example, I don't like taking the bus, the crowded people, the accommodation outside and so on. They can realize their dreams in a virtual tourist environment.

It can be seen that virtual tourism has not shaken the will of traditional tourists, nor has it affected the travel of most people.

Virtual tourism is actually a supplement and perfection to traditional tourism, and it is a good promotion to tourism, which will not only have an impact on traditional tourism, but also be of great help.

The basic characteristics of traditional tourism include: eating, living, traveling, traveling, shopping, entertainment and so on.

First of all, you can't eat some local specialties online. Some people may say that it can be solved through online shopping, but you can't get the timeliness of eating now and doing it first. Can't experience the local dining atmosphere. This dwarfs virtual tourism. The fun of traveling is that you can blend in with the external atmosphere and environment.

Secondly, accommodation, for many unique homestays, if you want to know more, you must make a field trip.

Finally, yes, traveling is about constantly changing your pace. And many of the beautiful scenery in China is a long road, which needs to be seen while walking. For example, the Duku Highway in Xinjiang. You can only see the true face of Lushan Mountain by walking constantly. If we only rely on the internet, it is impossible to achieve it.

As far as these points are concerned, virtual tourism cannot replace traditional tourism at all.

1. Advance stop of traditional tourism for reference.

Virtual tourism is expected to become an important supplement to traditional tourism, such as the design of tourist routes, the understanding of local customs, and "exploring the road" on the Internet in advance? These will be of great help to real travel and play in the future. Many people will warm up with an online virtual tour before traveling in person, so as to avoid detours.

2. You can promote some tourist attractions and apply them to the portals of tourist attractions.

Especially for emerging tourist attractions, people can get to know them in advance through publicity in advance, so as to achieve the purpose of sightseeing.

Application of Portal Website in Tourist Attractions

The online portal of scenic spots represents the image of scenic spots on the Internet. A three-dimensional virtual exhibition with ingenious conception, innovative techniques and exquisite design should be publicized on the scenic portal, which is one of the effective ways to enhance the visibility of the scenic spot. The introduction of scenic spots on online comprehensive tourism websites is often not detailed enough. With three-dimensional virtual display, as a scenic spot, the module of three-dimensional virtual tourism can be embedded in the website or provide quick links, so that it can be well displayed.

Electronic tourist souvenirs

The virtual display of three-dimensional real scenes can be made into exquisite tourist souvenirs and electronic publications. Embedding 3D virtual display data into beautifully printed modeling discs is an excellent souvenir for tourists. Visitors can take the scenic spots home and share them with family and friends, which is also a further promotion and display of the scenic spots.

Travel Expo promotional materials, tourist attractions to attract investment.

At the trade fair of tourism products, with the help of the three-dimensional virtual tour exhibition system, tourists can easily visit and experience the charm of tourist attractions by clicking the mouse through the big screen projection. This kind of exhibition is unique and has a good live display effect. At the same time, it can also be made into a CD. Three-dimensional virtual exhibition provides excellent project description and exhibition for tourism investment projects. Through the three-dimensional real-life display technology, the characteristics and advantages of tourism projects are fully displayed, which makes the initial investigation and evaluation of the project more direct and convenient, and greatly improves the promotion and development of the project.

Of course, with the blessing of 5G+ VR, people's travel modes will be more diversified and can meet the needs of more different groups of people. These are the promotion and development of tourism, which complement each other and make an industry develop more healthily and sustainably. Although the epidemic can temporarily hit and affect an industry, it will never destroy an industry. I believe that after the epidemic, tourism will surely usher in a better spring.
