euros the best results are still achieved by permanently installed high end systems though i took a look at different installations for tourists. 1964 . runs through the heart of the city separating east and west or east german residents are strictly forbidden from crossing the border at the risk of being. you to virtual history allows me yours to experience life in a divided city firsthand and to see how young west berliners helps those in the east escape. this man in this picture is those measures and clothes that his my grandfather and in this picture you see them building a tunnel under the ball. we are goggles bring on tons family legacy to life to let in descend into a virtual shaft like the one his grandfather and other estate agents had built from east to west berlin. 12 meters underground is the $145.00 metre long tunnel under

the berlin wall took 6 months to complete its super uncomfortable here. to be our director for sending this is a perfect example for how virtual reality can bring history to life. things have progressed in a way that we now are starting to see historical material processed in a whole new way suddenly old scans can be displayed in a 4 k. or even 8 k. in the are we have the opportunity to expand these world. making it possible to step into historic scenes we've otherwise only known from pictures where newspaper articles with can or other one was. gripping tales from the past reconstructed up close and in full color. we are going. crossing the 1970 s. border at checkpoint charlie is no simple task not even n.p.r. but this installation for bill interests also sees room for in the style she glimpse into former east berlin scenes of. traveling through time is just so

much fun some developers want to go one step further and use we are to make history we live a book how would you like to take part in the march on washington in 1963 when civil rights activist martin luther king had his famous speech. over 80 actors in various b.r. specialists helped to recreate this historic moment in time you literally marching with the people you're standing there you're looking at you know dr king gave this speech you're looking at every gesture and then looking at him seeing his eyes through you so it becomes very personal while goosebumps unfortunately the home selection for spectacularly our experiences is still quite limited many can only be tried out with high end equipment especially events on top of that the hardware set

up for home viewing still comes with a lot of annoying glitches and for many the systems are still too expensive most agree we are still just getting started. so there has a virtual reality studio in berlin he says the technology will have its big break soon enough thanks to some exciting innovations. like it but the goggles have improved significantly in the last 2 years last year we experienced a quantum leap forward when prices became affordable and quality rose to arrange the justify the cost of not just want to. spend his partner philip vending produce virtual reality content recently the organized a v.c.r. event alongside the. the biggest german film festival. to them there's no such thing as one stereotypical b.r. user. this medium has many different types of targets viewers there's the classic lean back audience that we know from television they watch content and like being

told stories but they're not keen on interacting it's really just about seeing a good story. then you've got the classic gamers who want to interact but who don't necessarily need photo realistic surroundings they're looking for 3 d. generated surroundings ideally live 3 d. generated surroundings that they can manipulate and can when it's and then there's the target audience that's not really looking for entertainment they're mostly from the industrial sector and use we are in there designing processes or to create pre-visualization they work in the automotive industry in architecture or in medicine. there for example they can practice new methods of surgery. and the wife and so forth. for years they've been saying the industry has a lot of potential but here's a reality check in 29000 users around the world spend 5700000000 euros on hardware and software sounds like a lot in gaming use of spent over 150000000000 year olds in the same time span by

2022 but beyond the street is expecting its turnover to rise to 15000000000 euros but 1st it needs to improve the whereas in office still we are let's you travel to places that were impossible to visit before for example world famous construction site unique images from inside the not cathedral in paris after it was devastated by a fire in 21000 new structures and a high lead concentration in the air made accessing the interior extremely dangerous for humans which is why in 360 degree camera robot is taking over the images it captures can be refuted with p.r. goggles. we used this robot to get right to the center of the cathedral right under a gaping hole we wouldn't have managed to without the robot but the camera got lucky when i stood in the ruins i was unable to stand under that hole but now i can thanks to b.r. . just

a few weeks before the fire filmmakers. victor i do know i had finished shooting a 3 d. documentary on the world famous church. after the fire we realized we had captured a moment and not a dime's history that we could now give back to the public. by combining film material from before the fire with new images recording the damage the fire had caused the 2 filmmakers have now produced a 2nd documentary rebuilding the dam accompanies the reconstruction of the famous church it's. one of the kind depictions of the cathedral is damaged interior else's money so these images are extraordinary they were filmed in virtual reality so in 360 degrees with a very high definition and in 3 d. that creates a separate image for the left and right eye each makes you feel like you're really

is very. similar there is a. virtual reality goggles let you independently explore the cathedral in this 16 minute long film censorious enable you to navigate through the building freely using your own body movements but the experience is strictly limited to be are in the real world the top down is currently still closed to visitors giving users the feeling of being in the midst of it all that's the goal for virtual reality and the more senses come into use the more real the experience will seem. we've had a look at the installation which offers a unique acoustic experience listening to music just the way it sounded when composer you hands a bust and beheaded performed in the 18th century. the chapel it's. a mystical place for bach fans around the world down $774.00 this painting was all that was left of it. now it's been rebuilt in virtual reality. prints for the

architecture and sound composition were kept a space full to the original as possible. as he was the hamill's bird chapel is almost like atlantis kind of like a sunken place of longing for a box for years i dreamt of recreating the birds so others could experience it and that dream has finally come true about so much. was performed on historic instruments in an echo free room at the technical university. that the sound could later be adjusted to fit the chappells accused the work and sounds just like it did in times. for ya'll can make dreams come true. i've always wanted to be a crocodile for instance. what's it like to be

a cayman gliding down the amazon river. for a tree frog hopping from limb to limb. in this virtual reality installation i just depends can take on the life of 5 different animals. oh that's my favorite animal is the vampire bat it's so cuddly and i love the way it's experience has been recreated you get to fly through the rain forest by night and with the bats night vision it's simply amazing. you know clue guy and her team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin designed this me our installation they recreated 400 hectares of brazil's 2 local market national park in the amazon rain forest the whole project took over a year 7500 plants alone had to be individually drawn and programmed the installation is now touring museums around the world. and with the knowledge of

the stuff we wanted to create an emotional experience that you can delve right into we want to viewers to enjoy themselves and become interested in the animals in the way they experience the world and i must say it's working or we've had lots of people asking us is it really true that the poison dart frog sees those crazy colors it down how did you find that out or where can we learn more. before. far. passing our knowledge with virtual reality works especially well when the experience is it's a passive is flying over the rain forest. what is on offer is getting more and more spectacular even if there's still room for improvement i think there's work to be done on graphics and resolution the greatest challenge for the industry will be to make the goggles lighter and more mobile this thing here for example this just

a bit too bulky even for me i suppose of the industry say so this will be a thing of the past. in the near future we won't have these anymore and instead we'll have real glasses that look like the glasses we know now fashionable accessories but with lenses that either stay transparent and display additional information or ones that can darken your vision completely and show something else in a closed off space the internet i'm curious to see what will happen what are your experiences with what devices. do you use and what do you still want to experience in virtual reality that is not on you tube facebook or d.w. dot com that's it from me they care and so you will.
