They say because of the Internet and the digital revolution, the world is getting smaller and smaller. What seemed impossible to go to before is now possible, whether it’s real and actual or virtual. One of the things that has changed is traveling, again both the actual one and the digital one. So if you cannot do the former, the latter is also an option, especially now with all the 360-degree tech and panoramic mapping, etc. Now you have Ascape, a 360° virtual tour app that can bring all these places closer to you.
Of course, nothing beats actually being in a place to experience all its beauty and mystery and excitement. But if things are preventing you from actually traveling, at least you have options like Ascape to fill in the gap. The app has several 360° guided tours in some of the most popular places in the world. Every day, you can inspire yourself with some short 360° virtual tours, like exploring the ancient rituals of India, or walking through the colorful, vibrant city of San Francisco.
It used to be we were just satisfied with looking at photos, but now, all these 360° videos will spoil us, and it’s even on 4K resolution. And it’s not just visual, you will get to experience VR sound technology as well. If you don’t have a VR headset, you can use the full screen mode in your smartphone so that you will still feel the immersion. But if you do have a VR headset, Ascape is compatible with several, including Google Cardboard, Zeiss VR ONE, DoDo Case VR, Homido, Durovis Dive, Fibrum etc.
The problem with the app though is that it doesn’t have a search function, so you’d have to scroll down their list of available virtual tours. Also, it’s also understood that because of its content, it is pretty heavy. But if you have space to spare in your device, this is a pretty sweet app to have. You can download Ascape from the Google Play Store for free.
