Virtual Reality (VR): バーチャルリアリティ (bācharu riariti) allows people to experience and explore cultural heritage (文化遺産:ぶんかいさん) like language (言語:げんご), traditions (伝統:でんとう), and customs (習慣:しゅうかん).
- Example: The Virtual Japan Expo (バーチャル日本博: bācharu nihon haku) project uses VR and AR to showcase Japanese culture (日本文化: nihon bunka) to both domestic (国内: こくない) and international (海外: かいがい) audiences. It's like a digital museum, bringing Japan's beauty (日本の美: にほんのび) from the Jomon period (縄文: じょうもん) to modern times (現代: げんだい) to life. 💡
#Patriotism: 愛国心
