A statement by the President's Office said that during the tour, Peres requested to look over Israel and Jerusalem, the Western Wall and the Church of Mary Magdalene, all in 3D. 

Following the tour, Brin and Peres held a meeting in which Brin showed Peres some other technological developments.

Peres reportedly asked his host to expand the cooperation with Israel's R&D centers.

Throughout his four-day visit to Silicone Valley, President Peres also met with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday, who helped him launch a personal page on Facebook.

In addition, Peres also answered questions from the site's users and launched a YouTube video clip meant to promote his Facebook page.
