We, at the department of Innovation and Management in Tourism, will focus on this technology and it´s challenges for the industry within the next months. A number of projects, Bachelor- and Master-Theses will complement our research activities. Please check out the article Paul Bulencea wrote on our Gamification-in-Tourism Blog on “How to use Virtual Reality in Tourism“.
