sensor!

6. Hypothesis - 1
There is a demand to watch videos of small places but do not have yet have good
videos
7. Proposed Solution
Take requests from users of the platform of a place they want to see
Curated videos of places by people, not algorithms.
If there are good quality videos of the place in request, curate them and present to
the customer.
If there are no good videos available of the place, send request to travellers if
anyone is willing to travel and get quote. Present they quote to customer and if
they agree to it then connect traveller and customer. (Planned)
For now, list them on a page and see if there are people willing to make such
videos.

19. Possible Future Paths if this is successful
- Use in 360 VR glasses, customer chooses place and they can view it from
First Person Perspective.
- Using voice command to view videos on large screen - it will show the best
video of the place, chosen by a human, not algorithm.
- Gamification used to get customers to submit links of videos and can upvote
links - similar to reddit, but without time decay.
- Sponsorship page / Advertisements from growing Youtube channels to
advertise
