Plongez au XIXe siècle avec cette expérience VR casual free-to-play qui met en scène plus de 700 images stéréoscopiques capturées par des appareils primitifs. Contemplez ces photos historiques en 3D via votre casque VR, des sommets des pyramides aux champs de bataille français de la Première Guerre mondiale en passant par des chasses à l'alligator, à la manière des spectateurs victoriens. L'installation vous place dans une unique pièce au style victorien, afin de mettre en valeur ces images soigneusement sélectionnées pour leur puissant effet 3D.
Appuyez sur la gâchette de vos contrôleurs Vive pour parcourir la collection, en marquant une pause entre chaque cliché afin que vos yeux s'adaptent au style stéréographique brut issu des imposants appareils d'époque. Cette approche met en lumière les origines de la technologie VR moderne. Les explorateurs casual et passionnés d'histoire en quête d'une expérience détendue et éducative y trouveront leur bonheur.
In the 19th century, when people had no HTC Vives to play with, they resorted to using primitive stereoscopes to see stereoscopic images in 3D! This free VR experience allows you to view a collection of over 700 such images from that era and enjoy them as people saw them over a century ago, using your VR headset. Stand atop the pyramids, view the battlefields of France in WWI, go alligator hunting, and see the world as people once did from the comfort of their Victorian homes!
The VR experience is set in a single room, decorated to look like one you might find in the Victorian era. But the focus of the game is not the room, it is the old photographs, which have been carefully selected for the best 3D effect. Use the trigger of your Vive controllers to move between images, giving your eyes time to adjust and focus between each image. These photos are from the late 19th and early 20th century, when stereographic capture was rather crude and done with bulky cameras, so viewing these images will probably not be as comfortable for your eyes as modern stereo images typically are.
This game is being made available free to help promote VR adoption as well as to allow people to learn more about this remarkable art form that led to the development of the virtual reality headsets we enjoy today.
