Vietnam Innovation Day 2024 takes place on October 1-2 at the National Innovation Center (NIC), Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park.
Quang Binh Department of Tourism said that some typical images and products of Quang Binh tourism have been selected by Meta Group and Google to introduce new technologies and cooperation with Vietnam.
In particular, the virtual reality tour Conquering Son Doong - the world's largest cave, was chosen by Meta Group as a typical product, to introduce the application of promotional programs through Meta's virtual reality system - part of Metaverse virtual universe technology.
At the booth, Mr. Nick Clegg - President of Global External Relations of Meta, Mr. Marc E. Knapper - US Ambassador to Vietnam, along with delegates and guests experienced the virtual reality tour of Son Doong.
When experiencing this tourism product through 360-degree video on Quest 2 and Quest 3 glasses, guests can truly feel like they are standing in the heart of the world's largest cave, among giant stalactites, listening to the wind whistling through the crevices, and witnessing the magical beauty of nature with their own eyes.
In addition, at Google's exhibition space, images of typical tourism products of Quang Binh such as Son Doong Cave, Phong Nha, Tan Hoa Tourist Village... in the photo collection Wonders of Vietnam on Google Cultural Library were introduced to visitors.
Mr. Nguyen Chau A, General Director of Oxalis Adventure - the operator of Son Doong tours, affirmed: "Applying modern technology such as virtual reality to tourism promotion not only expands our reach, but also brings the opportunity to experience authentic tourism for those who have not had the opportunity to explore in reality."
