A Dream of Florence (A #TravelBrilliantly Story)

It is often written that technology isolates us. Too many opinion pieces blame our screens for the loss of human interaction. Virtual reality is painted as a false experience, ultimately empty of emotional connection.

The truth is our gadgets are merely tools. Like hammers or screwdrivers, their value lies in their application.

A Dream of Florence, by Marzio Ombra, is the story of how virtual and augmented reality creates intimacy and transforms the endangered dream of an elderly couple into a reality.
