Just a four hour ride down the canal on big screen, just the natural sight & sounds, immersive tv
Nice looking boat.

It looks similar to a classic Italian Aquariva but less streamlined.

Immersive virtual tourism

Riding a boat down the river, summer in Canader

The Rideau Canal is cool tho, because it takes you right into the city

We used to go on camping holidays to a place just outside St Tropez when we lived in Germany in the early 70's.
I have a strong memory of the marina full of Aquarivas. They are the ultimate in luxury speedboats and a good example of one from that era would probably cost you a hundred grand these days.

What's cool about this virtual ride is that you pass through the locks of the canal which is the best part

Oh they using some drones in this too, to fly up into the air and back down, neat

Where is the Rideau Canal?
I've not heard of it.

It's the Bytown Canal off the Ottawa River,

so otherwise known as the birthplace of Ottawa

The Canal meanders through the countryside before ending up downtown in the National Capital

In winter you skate on it, in summer you boat on it

So right now in the simulation it is taking me through the city itself

Just checking it out on google earth. Is that the series of canals and lakes heading down to Smith's falls?

Couldn't find any VTO thing on the fire stick. I'll try again some other time. The trailer looks neat though.

It just finished up with an ascending drone shot over Parliament Hill

Impressive

They're playing it on a loop, so it's starting over at the beginning

If you like slow TV, Swedish public broadcasting just started their coverage of the yearly moose migration. They put a lot of cameras at a bottleneck location and are broadcasting 24/7 until April 11.
Does it work abroad?
