Virtual Hawaii Tour

A Virtual Free Hawaii Vacation

Oculus Rift and Marriott Hotels have partnered to allow guests to enjoy a free Hawaii vacation albeit virtually. Feel the balmy temperature, the ocean breeze and the mist in the air all while being transported to Maui via the Oculus teleport.

To become part of this new virtual Hawaii tour, visit Marriott’s traveling booths and experience one of the first such reality tours first hand. Stand in the booth while wearing the virtual headset, and travel to Hawaii for the two minute unique experience. The tour is augmented not only through the Oculus headset, but also via the use of humidifiers, fans, smells, sound and more.

While this will never take the place of a real Hawaii vacation it is one of the most innovative uses of virtual reality we’ve seen used to market our unique Hawaii experience. If you have a chance to check it out, please let us know your thoughts.
