I’ve long thought there could be a market for something like the pay binoculars you sometimes find at scenic viewpoints, except instead of allowing a better view of the current scene it would be a display of a historical view from that point that you could look around, with the display matching the movement of the device. I think with the current state of VR technology something like that is now feasible with a high degree of realism, even with animation, like watching steamships or sailing ships in a historic harbor view. I don’t know if they could be profitably made, though, especially factoring in the expense of creating a good VR model of the scene.
