It was in 2007, when Unesco made an alliance with Google Maps to provide virtual tours of many of the most important treasures considered as World Heritage. At present, there are 19 destinations 3D images available on broadband. One of the most watched is the Trans-Siberian route, which makes all the way from Moscow to the Pacific coast, a total of 150 hours of recording Wonderful!

The web site http://www.airpano.com/, born from Russian dreamers, who put on a silver platter the best places in the world to citizens. Virtual tours offer fascinating places that perform themselves with aerial shot. The China Wall, the Tour of Russia, The Himalayas, Barcelona and the Taj Mahal in India are just some of the sites you can visit from home.

If you love art, some great museums offer virtual tours. Thus, you can admire the Mona Lisa in one of the most important centers of world art; the Louvre, located in Paris. Similarly, Google recorded the Museum of the Acropolis in Athens and the Doge’s Palace in Venice.

What once gone, it is now admired in the XXI century. For the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, visit Google Earth 3D created with images taken by National Geographic. The company also “Active Worlds” developed an application inviting users to go inside the ship that was the world’s largest passenger.

Another invention made in 3D with the support of Google, is the Night Paseo de Marseille; giving the impression of actually being there. Furthermore, the proposal is to enter in plans different from tourism, such as walking through neighborhoods known only to the natives of this European city.

Social networks have also promoted the exchange of images from across the world. Vimeo is a good place to entertain with recordings of thousands of fans and many experts offering enviable landscapes in real time. In turn, Tinder developed in its application the daily summary. Every day is a different destination and collects the best video images of users on the network share.

There are no excuses! Looking for something more real? Then see the webcam of the International Space Station. The shooting distance is 400 kilometers above the Earth but they are amazing. They arrive a little later, but the relay is almost in real time. A pleasant way to see the world, will steal more than one breath and it’s free!
