Cheers Kumarski, good point totally agree! VR is just one part of our media. It has been looked at as the game-changer in the travel industry, however we have seen that users are interested in seeing realtime visual information, to see how any place looks like at any time as well as the option of VR.

Our focus is on creating and engaging a community in order to have our members review and rate the media to continuously display only what is relevant and updated.

We also try to portray each location through the eyes of its locals, rather than tourist/traveller perspectives, as many others rely on.

Also the visual domain is an extension of the end-to-end planning and booking experience we are working with our early users to achieve, to help make better informed travel and booking decisions, rather than just display visual tours etc

Hey bestattack thanks! I'm Lucal's other cofounder Anton. Absolutely thats the idea! Its useful for those planning a new trip - by seeing how a particular area in a destination looks like in real-time and through the eyes of those that live there, (giving a local perspective and not just a commercial/tourist one). Also when just wanting to explore the world and find new, remote places and seeing whats happening there and they are all about.

We are aggregating user-generated content from a number of online resources as well as direct uploads from our primary community of photographers and users.

Be sure to check out the demo and let us know what you think, We'd love to know :)
