After launching the experiment, you can click any pin on the map to begin the tour or select from options that include landmarks, nature, archaeology, and cultural institutions. After choosing a pin, the map opens in street view, and the AI-generated audio commentary begins. Use the arrow to move the panoramic image around, take a snapshot, generate a new commentary, or choose the blue button to record a question and receive an audio response.

In the Classroom
Take your students to the world's most famous cultural landmarks without leaving your classroom using Talking Tours. Use this Google Experiment to enhance learning by exploring specific locations in books or mentioned in history lessons. If you have five minutes to fill at the end of a class period, ask students to select a location to explore and ask questions. Extend learning using a timeline generation tool like MyLens, reviewed here to create a timeline that shares the story of critical events in the location you are exploring. Further, extend learning by finding or creating an interactive chatbot such as those available on SchoolAI, reviewed here. For example, when visiting Nelson's Column, found at Trafalgar Square in London, search for a "Space" featuring Lord Nelson and invite your students to interact and ask questions to learn more about his epic sea battles.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
