Now you can explore the temples from your own home anywhere in the world. Pretty damn amazing really. Not as majestic as actually standing in them, for sure, but still incredible. Especially if you see it as a marketing strategy for tourism in the area... letting people see them online and then make them REALLY want to see them in person.

Wow... not just the main temple... several of them! So cool.

Imagine this merged with an oculus rift! You could have a virtual tour company!

Speaking of which, I have an Oculus Rift and folk are welcome to take a look - it arrives in cargo from Oz within the week. Do NOT combine with illicit products!

^ LOL!

I've only had one person try the Rift so far and not be physically affected by it.
