In Japan, travel dreams take flight on VR-powered fake planes
Japanese businessman Katsuo Inoue chose Italy for this year’s summer vacation, and he enjoyed the trimmings of a business class cabin and soaked up the sights of Florence and Rome – without ever leaving Tokyo.
Grounded Japanese residents are satisfying their wanderlust with a mix of real world and virtual travel stimulation. They get the flight experience in a mock airline cabin complete with in-flight meals while ‘travelling’ to far-flung destinations through a virtual reality headset.
