By focusing on television film-induced tourists, this chapter will contribute to a better understanding of tourist behaviour in relation to motivations for travel to filming locations. The chapter combines, analyses, and critiques the main debates raised by key authors in relation to identifying the motivational factors that prompt site-specific film tourism as well as providing contributions from this author's 2016 research on television film-induced tourism in Ireland. The chapter is divided into the following sections: a brief history of film and television and a review and discussion on film tourism, a breakdown of the different categories of film tourist and a summation of the various motivations for television induced film tourism, followed by an insight into the concept of authenticity in film tourism studies and the use of technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality as a means to provide a more immersive experience post COVID-19.

Tourist Behaviour

This article discusses the concomitant processes of increasing familiarisation, responsiveness and responsibility that digital technology enables in the realm of tourism. We reflect on the influence of the proliferation of interactive digital platforms and solutions within tourism practice and behaviour through a range of lenses, from user generated content and associated interactive digital platforms, the emergence of gamification embedded within these, immersive mixed-reality media (such as virtual reality [VR] and augmented reality [AR]) and the changes in tourist behaviour that have paralleled these digital developments. We also explore the use of AI in tourism, and the methodological potential that digital technology has for tourism studies.

Insight Into

The section on changes in training from the Future in Surgery Report by the Royal College of Surgeons of England outlined key ideas for improving surgical training in the future. These ideas included the use of augmented reality, virtual reality and simulation, as well as increased support for surgeons to diverge from traditional surgical training pathways to undertake research and act as entrepreneurs. The Second Oxford Surgical Innovation Conference (OxSI) had similar aims to prepare delegates for these changes in surgery. The event took place on Friday 13th March 2020 at St Catherine's College, Oxford, and included talks and workshops from world-renowned surgeons, which covered a vast range of topics but ultimately all gave a fascinating insight into what is needed to improve surgical practice and policy.

Basic Concepts

This paper is an overview of augmented reality’s basic concepts and its connection to the logistics field. The paper includes a brief history of the tech and how it differs to the virtual reality. The main goal is to understand how augmented reality is being used in logistics to innovate and enhance services. It refers to how courier and freight companies are taking advantage of this technology to upgrade the warehouses, transportation and enhance value added services. It also analyses how the retail market is modernizing its stores and is using mobile applications for online shopping. Using augmented reality has overall pros and cons and even though is a technology on its early stages it shows a great potential to revolutionize the supply chain in its totality.

Insight Into

Unlike in the phrase “Virtual Reality,” in the phrase “Augmented Reality” (AR) the stress is put on the word “reality.” It seems, though, that we still lack a concept of reality which can fit the world of both humans and computers. In connection with this philosophical issue, this paper aims to provide the background for a better insight into the meaning of Augmented Reality and its impact on human behavior. My thesis is that an ecological version of direct perception’s realism constitutes the most natural framework from which to start. The ecological approach to perception – namely, the Gibsonian theory of affordances – together with a non-dualistic, pragmatist and evolutionist notion of reality, perfectly fits this purpose. Thus, after a brief survey of the present state of AR technologies, it should become natural to interpret AR digital contents as implementations of affordances.

Centralized Database

Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming a mature technology field. To understand its origins and foresee strategies, a study on the last decade of papers published in the Brazilians´ most prominent symposium (the SVR – Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Reality) has been carried out. Papers were classified according to subject of study (including application domains, sub-areas and technologies, among others) as well asresearch structure (including authorship counts and geographical distribution, research approaches, among others). The study shows that health related applications have received most of the attention although techniques and tools proposal have raised the most recently which could be related to the lowlevel programming languages and frameworks preferences found to this community. The number of Augmented Reality (AR) papers has grown steadily and a great variety of underlying knowledge fields (such as 3D interaction and real-time simulation) is a persistent aspect of SVR. Data also show that expected shift from VRML to other 3D Web technologies have already happened. Although oversees participation has been not constant, papers published in English has proven stable in SVR editions. Few institutions from Southeast have dominated the research area but another few from Northeast have just surpassed them. Regarding the research, a lack of higher-level maturity research approaches has been noticed. In addition, it was found difficult to assess the relevance of papers to other researches due to poor abstracts and no centralized database of papers. The analysis of 262 papers suggest that (i) by improving the research budget to the area could impact productivity; (ii) a centralized database would facilitate recovering past contributions and; (iii) that enforcing more scientifically rigorous papers with better abstracts and written in English could raise the visibility of Brazilians´ research in VR/AR.
