What’s On My Mind: Traveling the World Virtually

If there’s one thing I’ve delved more deeply into during the last 18 months, it’s practical virtual reality. I bought an Oculus Quest headset a couple years ago when it became the first VR headset that didn’t need a computer to power it, and I played with it a bit when I first got it, then put it away as other things caught my interest.

Fast forward to 18 months ago when the world first shut down for the pandemic, and I dusted it off. I played around with the entertainment for a bit, but found two applications that were incredible. The first was YouTube VR, the ability to see videos made with 360 degree cameras. From riding roller coasters to doing a spacewalk to going on safari in Africa with a lion pride, there were all kinds of interesting virtual experiences to be had, some of which I simply don’t plan to do, like skydiving or going on a wing-suit ride.

But the second experience, the killer app for me, is an app called Wander. Wander is simply Google Street View in VR. Any place Google Street View has data is a place you can go, and I spend at least 15 minutes a day in the app, sometimes much more. One of my favorite games to play is to turn off the in-app map, hit Random Location, and then try to figure out what country I’ve been dropped into using the contextual clues around me, like this:

Take a guess without Googling where this might be. What are the clues that could give you hints as to what nation it is? I had to travel down the road a bit further before I knew where it was, because I wasn’t familiar with that brand of gas station.

Here’s another example. I had a guess based on the writing, but I was wrong.

The first photo is from Czechia, which for those of us who are older is the modern name for the Czech Republic. Benzina is a Central European gas station chain; it wasn’t until I saw a billboard with an ad for a .cz domain name that I knew where I was.

The second photo is from Mongolia, which you could tell by the writing on the green door in the lower right hand side of the photo. I didn’t know that Mongolia uses two different writing systems, Cyrillic and Mongolian, but if you knew that, then this was a dead giveaway.

I’ve learned four things while traveling the world virtually.

1. If you ever wonder what it’s like to be illiterate, drop into a nation where you don’t know the language at all, like Bhutan or Thailand for me. It’s hard to imagine illiteracy if you are literate and you never venture outside the region where your language is spoken, but it’s a fascinating, empathy-building experience once you do.

2. Travel to places virtually where you’re unlikely to go. I was in Puerto Williams at the very southern tip of Chile the other day. To get there from Boston would be something like US$3,500 one way and 51 hours of flights, three planes, and then several hours of driving. Is dropping in virtually as good as the real thing? No. Is it better than not knowing or seeing at all? Yes. There are places like Venice, Italy that I may not ever get to, or at least not in time before climate change makes them unrecognizable. But I can take a ride on a gondola virtually right now. You don’t have to wait or save up money to start traveling virtually to interesting, hard-to-reach places around the world.

3. Learn the underlying meta-language and meta-culture of humanity. There are only a certain number of rational ways to do things as humans, and we develop a design language of sorts in our behaviors that crosses boundaries and cultures. As a business person and a marketer, this is an invaluable lesson. When you start to decode what’s common in our human experience regardless of culture and language, you can make your own marketing more powerful by making it more universal. Take a look at this street in Cherven Bryag, Bulgaria:

I can’t read Cyrillic. I can’t speak Bulgarian. But you can probably decode just by the general shapes and sizes of the signage alone what kinds of shops these are, where the door is, how you would go about doing business here as a customer. You can understand the marketing even if you don’t understand the language.

4. Start breaking your own biases. In the USA, American media tends to portray certain countries with very specific stereotypes (and rarely positive ones). When you start journeying around the world in VR, those stereotypes get put to the test – and often fall apart. When you think of Mexico, what comes to mind?

It’s probably not this:

Other than the Spanish language on some of the signs and vehicles, you could easily mistake this part of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico as any southern USA city. Quite different than what is shown in the news and in movies and TV.

And that’s the big meta-lesson that I learned: we’re all pretty much the same. A place to live is a place to live. A store is a store, whether it’s on Fifth Avenue in NYC or on the side of the road in Uganda. We all have much, much more in common than we do differences as humans, as a species, as a race. Media and politicians make their money on emphasizing the differences, but when you travel and see firsthand – virtually or in real life – what life is like for others, those differences are smaller than the similarities.

Here’s some more great news: you don’t need a VR headset to do this. There are free sites and games like Mapcrunch or Geoguesser that do exactly what I do – drop you off somewhere randomly, and let you find your way. They won’t be in VR, but that’s not mandatory. You can also just hit up Street View in Google Maps on the web or download the Google Street View apps in iOS or Android.

Try it out. Explore your world from wherever you are. See how much you know about other nations and cultures. You might surprise yourself, find the next vacation you want to take, reduce a bias or impression you had, or discover an insight you can apply to your marketing. It’s a big world. Go see it.

Ad: Make Better Videos with Techsmith Camtasia

If you enjoy my videos, like You Ask, I Answer, Do Something With Your Marketing, Saturday Night Data Party, and many others, then consider using the platform I use to edit and publish them: Techsmith Camtasia. Camtasia is just the right balance between too easy and inflexible, like iMovie, and absurdly complex and expensive, like Adobe Premiere. It’s got just the right features, from subtitle editing to all the usual transitions and special effects, and it’s a desktop app, so there’s none of this crazy trying to “edit in the cloud” (which is insane for video production). If you need to produce videos, screencasts, and even animations, give Camtasia a try.

Ad: How to Prove the ROI of your Marketing Agency

I put together a brand new talk on how agencies could use data-driven marketing as a way to showcase their value and real results they obtain. Fundamentally, agencies need to take five steps to make this journey:

1. Become data-driven. Making decisions with data allows you to act faster and make better decisions when done right.
2. Be crystal clear about KPIs. What’s a KPI? It’s the number you get your bonus for (or fired for).
3. Build an agency cookbook. Cookbooks set apart good agencies from great ones.
4. Use data to become proactive. Impress clients by being more proactive and pushing them.
5. Squeeze all the juice from your tools. You probably don’t need to buy more tools.

An agency which takes these steps becomes more and more valuable to its clients. For folks on the client side, these are the things you should expect of your agencies, things you should ask for when agencies are pitching you. Agencies not doing these things will not serve you as well as they could. There’s obviously a lot more detail, so go ahead and watch the talk now.

Almost Timely News: What If You Can’t Afford AI, Google Analytics Tracking (8/1)

Learn how to build better dashboards and reports in this free class »

What’s On My Mind: What If You Can’t Afford AI?

One of the most common questions whenever I present about the use of AI in marketing is, “What if we can’t afford an AI engineer and a data scientist, or can’t afford an agency or vendor?” In the past, I’ve struggled to answer this question in a satisfactory way for a couple of reasons. First, I’ve struggled to answer it because I use AI every day, so I have trouble imagining what it would be like to not have access to the tools. It’d be like trying to understand someone who didn’t have access to spreadsheets – they’re just part of my everyday work.

The second reason I’ve struggled to answer the question is because the problems I face at work every day are large-scale problems that are well-suited to AI. Problems involving small data generally don’t land on my desk; someone else has already solved them, and I’m not needed. It’s this train of thought that has led to what I think is a satisfactory answer to that question.

AI is good at three things: processing data faster (and thus being able to handle a lot of it), processing data more accurately, and processing data in routine ways. Google’s Chief Decision Scientist Cassie Kozyrkov calls AI and machine learning nothing more than “problem labeling machines”, which is accurate. We use AI to turn data into numbers that can be calculated and processed, clustered and predicted.

But that presumes we have enough data to do all that labeling and processing. AI fails when we don’t have enough data. And therein lies the distinguishing factor, the real answer to the question.

You need AI when you have machine-sized problems.

You can use human solutions when you have human-sized problems.

For example, suppose you want to know what works in tweets, what topics to cover. If you downloaded all your tweets, and sorted by the most engaging, you could probably get a good idea of what works by reading – manually – the top 100 tweets, and doing a bit of legwork to group them together by topic and language. You don’t need AI for that.

If you need to do that for an entire industry sector, you’ve now got a machine-sized problem, and that’s where AI shines. There’s no practical way to sort and process hundreds of thousands of tweets in a timely fashion.

Companies like Google process more data with AI than they ever could with humans. They’d have to employ most of North America just to deal with a day’s worth of data. AI is called for.

If you need to understand the language used on a company website, you can have a person read the top 10 or even top 100 pages – that’s a human-sized problem. If you need to understand the language used on Wikipedia? That’s a machine-sized problem.

So, here’s my answer to “What if we can’t afford an AI engineer and a data scientist, or can’t afford an agency or vendor?”. Find a way to reduce the data down to a human-sized problem and solve it with humans until you have enough resources – money, time, people – to work with the full-size dataset. Sampling data is a time-honored method to make big data smaller, and doesn’t require anything more sophisticated than a semester’s worth of statistics classes in university (assuming you did well in the class, of course). Make the data and the problem fit the resources you have to solve it as best as you can.

What do you think? Does that answer make sense to you?
