About this ebook
This book will enable you to become a virtual traveller using your tablet, smartphone or computer. You will learn how to find and explore interesting, mysterious and hidden destinations and flyover and into these locations and simulate real travel using a range of software applications (Apps) and real life scenarios.
Virtual travel is having the experience of traveling to a destination without physically traveling and can be used as an alternative to or an adjunct to actual travel. Virtual travel may be preferred to actual travel for reasons that include cost, risk, health, time, convenience and mobility. Virtual travel is being enabled by increasingly powerful smartphones and tablets, faster network speeds and greater bandwidth combined with the integration of the World Wide Web's information, map, photo and video resources.
