1. Research Overview

Project Scope and Objectives

After trying out several cutting-edge technologies, the choice was made to utilise VR Frame since it offers a 360-degree experience that can be developed without a VR headset and reaches a wider audience that is interested in trying it out. As Lithuania enters the Top 10 remote working countries, this kind of developing technology would be helpful in solving the problem presented by a persona who wishes to employ VR Frame Experience to create awareness of Lithuania’s sustainable balance between work and personal life.

Examples of WebVR

Figure 1 : The British Museum made the decision to go beyond and create a WebVR Artic exhibition, which uses the universally recognised i icon to present the information. Pressing the circles on the floor allows visitors to navigate the exhibition, which reduces the need for them to push too many buttons—especially for those who have accessibility problems (British Museum, 22 October 2020).

Google Earth VR

Figure 2 : Google Earth VR gives a new perspective of seeing any place (Google, Steam, n.d).

You may explore the world in virtual reality with Google Earth VR and see it from completely different angles. With this virtual reality programme, you may see the cities, landmarks, and scenic beauties of the world. You can soar into space, stand atop the tallest peaks, and fly over a city. With its cinematic tours and carefully chosen locations, Earth VR transports you to various locations such as the Swiss Alps, the Grand Canyon and more (Google, Steam, n.d).

Audience of My Project

In UK, the age group of 25 to 44 is the most likely to relocate abroad in search of employment. 42% of workers said they would like to work remotely from overseas using their employer’s policies. Approximately 560,000 people departed the UK in 2022 to live permanently abroad. This demonstrates the desire people have in relocating overseas to experience new things and discover who they are (Giacomo Piva, Storage, 26 January 2023).

Virtual tourism aims to create a near-life touring experience of a particular destination or tourist attraction. Virtual tourism can provide a glimpse of what a destination or tourist attraction has to offer; it can also be used to plan a future in-person trip (Ursula Perula Barzey, moxee marketing, 13 December 2022).

The intention is not to supplant in-person travel but rather to expand into new markets, such as school groups and older adults with discretionary means who are unable to travel because of health issues or limited mobility (Ursula Perula Barzey, moxee marketing, 13 December 2022).

Summary

In the world of different 360 VR concepts, there isn’t a sample that perfectly fits the project in the world of many VR concepts, or at least based on my study, I couldn’t locate anything comparable that would already exist. This distinguishes the notion in that it highlights a nation with developing technologies that is little known to the rest of the globe and can attract the user’s curiosity in visiting for desired employment.
