Weekly Recap: Beautiful VR travel and promising sci-fi movies

A look back at the computer future: Admittedly, virtual reality trips are overhyped. But: they are nowhere near as overhyped as the Metaverse! So, let's have some fun.

Of course, such a VR trip does not replace reality, nor should it, but it can be entertaining and educational and make you want more. That's why we're introducing you to a few interesting VR travel apps this week.
