Method, system, and computer program product for personalized suggestions based on analysis of video depicting interactions or feedback
The embodiments herein provide an internet-based virtual travel system and method that allows people (viewers or virtual travelers) to explore any destination or location in real-time without having to be physically present at those destinations or locations by means of other people (serving as guides or virtual travel guides) who are physically present al the destinations or locations and use one or more mobile devices and/or wearable devices and/or accessories to stream real-time video. The internet-based virtual travel system enables viewers or virtual travelers to find and hire guides or virtual travel guides, virtually explore any destination or location anywhere in the world in real-time via guides or virtual travel guides, receive personalized recommendations regarding virtual exploration (virtual travel) options, make payments for virtual exploration (virtual travel) sessions, visualize virtual exploration (virtual travel) sessions on an interactive map or other forms of visualization, view promotions or product placements incorporated by guides or virtual travel guides during virtual exploration (virtual travel) sessions, engage in real-time virtual shopping via guides or virtual travel guides, and make bookings for physical trips after virtual exploration (virtual travel) sessions.
