Equipped with helmet mounted cameras, GPS tracking devices and live streaming technology; all of their movements, interactions and experiences were broadcasted live on the web. The audience could follow each of their moves and actions, and give them instructions in real-time via a dedicated website and social media channels (Twitter and Facebook). Thus, users could send requests to the remote control tourists, asking them to visit certain locations within the city, undertake specific activities, explore places and interact with locals on their behalf.
