Interview with Simon from Lithodomos: Ancient World VR

Ancient World VR by Lithodomos is a new website that allows you to explore 22 guided virtual sites! These sites are reconstructed sites, both popular and less known from the Ancient World, Renaissance period, Neolithic period, and even colonial period. No VR headset? No problem! These reconstructions can be accessed via desktop, tablet, and mobile and feature over 190 digital reconstructions! Explore Ancient Athens at the Parthenon, or the Oracle of Delphi. Travel to Ancient Rome and explore the Colosseum, or follow in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper on the streets of London.

Our interview with Simon Young talks all about the process of reconstructing these sites, what you can expect from Ancient World and a whole lot of behind the scenes look at sites during their development stage and the research that went behind this amazing project! The VR ancient world experience is brought to your own home, and our interview gives you the inside scoop on how it became what it is today!
