Applicazioni che si affacciano sul mondo. Viaggiare al tempo della pandemia con i geobrowser

This work is focused on the use of geotechnologies for the creation of thematic virtual tours based on a detailed model of the world, made of imageries which come from various remote sensing sources. Since travel restrictions are maintained due to the pandemic prosecution, these programs are becoming more important for a wide variety of users, especially for those who study and teach Geography. From an analysis of the current tourism crisis, the work points out some of the reasons why geobrowsers can provide a good and temporary alternative to traveling in person, showing two examples of virtual tours created using Google Earth and dedicated to these topics: American’s migrations and geographic explorations.
