A system of virtual sightseeing using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and methods of making and using same. The virtual sightseeing system can include a plurality of UAVs arranged over a geographical area of interest in one or more ground configurations. In response to a sightseeing request, one or more UAVs are activated and deployed to a sightseeing region of interest. The UAVs travel to the region of interest and, upon arriving, acquire data for presentation in real-time. The data can include both visual and non-visual data from the region of interest and can be presented in integrated fashion in a virtual reality terminal. The virtual sightseeing is supervised by an operational subsystem that is responsible for efficient allocation of UAVs in response to multiple sightseeing requests. Even if physically separate, the subsystems of the virtual sightseeing system can communicate via a data communication subsystem, such as a wireless network.
