Thanks so much for your edifying "Autonomous Vehicles and the Digital Transformation of the Automotive Industry in Asia" - https://events.stanford.edu/
In asking:
"Following on some Waymo questions here, how could modeling/simulations and combined in a single realistic virtual earth for Autonomous Vehicles help Pony.ai with the development of innovations (am thinking re Waymo of Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth with TensorFlow) and a single realistic virtual earth for Robotics https://twitter.com/hashtag/
World Univ & Sch seeks to facilitate a single realistic virtual earth for this - https://twitter.com/hashtag/
https://wiki.
And while Richard asked me to describe the Realistic Virtual Earth idea, I think I may have, in asking you about Pony.ai collaborating with Waymo digital infrastructure, only mentioned Google Street with time slider, Maps, Earth and with TensorFlow in response, so I'm just writing to suggest that a developing single realistic virtual earth would incorporate predictive analytic information technologies like Lidar, and this image is a great example of what I have in mind in combination with Google Street View infrastructure - https://twitter.com/

In what ways could we explore building this single realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels too in China, for all its people in its rooms - and even in collaboration between Pony.ai and MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch?

Dear Yujie,
Thanks for your edifying UC Berkeley TSWG talk -
"Memory, Homecoming and the Politics of Diaspora Tourism in China" -
http://campaign.r20.
http://campaign.r20.
With your mentioning Dean MacCannell's work on authenticity, - a theory I'd suggest which emerges from a modernist approach to Tourism Studies - and your also mentioning "staged authenticity" with regard to a postmodern approach to interpreting tourism, I'm curious, regarding my information technology question, and case example of Richard Peng, autonomous vehicles in China, and Google's Waymo into a realistic virtual earth for tourism (my project), how the information age as a new condition (beyond modernity post-modernity, and advertising discourse - see paper) might inform an interpretation of "Memory, Homecoming and the Politics of Diaspora Tourism in China"?
I explore some of these ideas here in a 2000 'theoretical' paper I wrote in Nelson Graburn's "Tourism, Art and Modernity" UC Berkeley course -
"Gazing at the Box: Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)"
In all of these regards, I might explore developing new definitions of internet 'authenticity' - eg seeing/engaging in bodymind paintings in the Louvre museum in person (Dean MacCannell, thanks to the touristic guidebook in part), vs. seeing them on the internet in a virtual Louvre in a myriad of new ways). In what ways is authenticity a helpful concept in your heritage research, Yujie? Would the information age as a condition informing interpretations of tourism yield different approaches than MacCannell's modernity approach, Urry's staged authenticity re post-modernity,, questions of authenticity regarding advertising discourse (Thurot and Thurot - see my paper), and newly what I'm calling internetity' where conditions emerging thanks to the internet and information age encompass and supersede previous approaches in tourism studies to this key concept?
Per my question to you, and 'case example' (of James Peng, his Pony.ai and Google's Waymo data) and RoboTaxis, the idea re Xi'an and Kazakhstan and Muslim ethnic minorities' tourism, with their own languages, would be how they and all of us might shape this single realistic virtual earth, new data, and for heritiage studies, history, and so much more, and via a new social science method I'm calling 'ethno-wiki-virtual-world-
Here's the example I shared (at the online University I'm creating in all ~200 countries, their official & main languages, and in all 7,117 known languages, emerging from CC-4 MIT OCW in its 4 languages, and as wiki, in initially Wikipedia's 300 languages) -
LiDAR
- https://twitter.com/
In ways could we convert these LiDAR images, for example, of people into avatar bots (think Samsung Neons, aka 'artificial humans') of your anthropological touristic subjects, - and even for further research, and in a single realistic virtual earth we all create (almost as an emergent library and museum all in one - am thinking Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, and the virtual world and data created too by Google's Waymo in the USA, China, Kazakhstan + ).

"Creating a realistic virtual earth for tourism and tourism studies with actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs: A Case Study"
Thank you for your edifying talk, Yujie. Looking forward to staying in communication, and would welcome reading any thoughts you might have about the above in relation to your talk, the information age theoretically for tourism studies, and your heritage studies approach to tourism.
Best regards, Scott
