Mangalore: A city-based tourism website (Virtualmangalore.com) has been launched on Saturday at Press club here, officially by Yathish Baikampady, CEO Panambur Beach Tourism Development Project.
Mangalore is first city in India to have a website of this kind, said Aravind Prabhu of Sequoya Software who created the website. The site provides a rich experience of all locales for sight-seeing with a full view.
The website has guidelines for users to navigate around the place, with natural sounds effects, to enhance realism without being there.
