Rickshaw is a new virtual tourism and education platform that connects users to a worldwide network of guides standing by to provide live and fully immersive interactive tours on their mobile devices. Rickshaw’s guides are a mix of professionals and amateurs keen to offer an engaging virtual experience in whatever way suits best: a quick spontaneous look around, a live in-depth exploration booked in advance, a private or public excursion, or pre-recorded content. Live 360° extended reality touring will additionally provide our users with a truly immersive virtual travel experience. Our vision is to offer a low-cost, low-impact and accessible way for people to explore the world and experience other cultures, while helping our guides support themselves and their communities. And for those unable or unwilling to travel, we want to offer a virtual portal to the world. As interactive livestreaming becomes an increasingly popular source of entertainment and social interaction, Rickshaw adds a valuable new dimension, helping us to bridge our cultural divides and develop a better understanding of the world around us.
