Exploring the World in 360
What if you could experience your dream travel destination–exactly as it is–as you plan your trip? Or use VR to get a guided tour of someplace you’ve always wanted to visit?
With Weezy VR, those questions are no longer theoretical.
Switzerland-based startup Weezy VR is the world’s first interactive virtual reality app for travel. And they’ll be onsite at CES® 2023.
“What you see is what you get,” says CEO and Co-Founder Jimmy Kunzli, explaining how the platform works. Users, he continues, see unaltered 360 videos of their destinations.
They also get virtual guided tours and filters which can tell them about climates, costs and how they might like the locales they have in mind, depending on the purpose of their travel.
Jimmy shared the story of Weezy VR, explained how it works and what’s next.
And if you’re coming to CES® 2023, you’ll get a chance to meet Jimmy and his staff and talk with them about the platform! Look for Weezy VR in CES®’ Eureka Park® startup area, in booth #61344 of the Switzerland pavilion.
