Introduction
The comprehensive experience of visual reality on a journey in time.
Taking Rigas Feraios’s revolutionary 18th-century Charta of Greece as your starting point, and with the help of visual reality (VR) technology and the modeling software 3D Studio Max, you’ll create a photorealistic tour through space and an animated flow of 2D and 3D elements.
Once you create your app, you’ll be the first to test it out, traveling back in time through a VR helmet.
