Bibliotheca Alexandrina launches ‘Virtual Antiquities Museum’ app

[Disir]

Bibliotheca Alexandrina has launched the “Virtual Antiquities Museum” application, which utilizes the Oculus virtual reality glasses.


It was made available to the public through the Oculus Store application platform, which provides the user with the possibility to visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Antiquities Museum in a unique virtual reality experience.

Though virtual reality, users can get up close and personal with a variety of artifacts without setting foot in the museum.

I saw that and I am super stoked. I would very much hope that comparisons are made between what has been available (Budge) and this. I think it's like over 50 feet long.

I thnk they pretty much all vary. None are really the same. Seems like they were all cutomized for the dearly departed.

But, yeah, it's a pretty cool find.
