console your devices function independently now and available for about $200.00 euros the best results still achieve but permanently installed high end systems though i took a look at different installations for tourists in my hometown. 1964 . runs through the heart of the city separating east and west east german residents are strictly forbidden from crossing the border at the risk of being sunk due to virtual history allows me yours to experience life in the divided city firsthand and to see how young west berliners helped those in the east escape. this man in this picture is cause mischief and cause that he's my grandfather and in this picture you see him building a tunnel under the bed and ball. we are goggles bring on tons family legacy to life they let him descend into a virtual shaft like the one his grandfather and other estate agents had built from

east to west berlin. 12 meters underground the 145 meter long tunnel under the berlin wall took 6 months to complete its super and coughed avoid here. to be our director for sending this is a perfect example for how virtual reality can bring history to life is the. things that 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. and we 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 order the one want to thank him for taking. gripping tales from the past reconstructed up close and in full color. 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 students. traveling through time is just so much fun some developers want to go one step further and used to make history relive 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 p.r. specialists helped to recreate this historic moment in time. you would really 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 something it becomes very personal wow goosebumps unfortunately

the home selection for spectacular view 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 you still comes with a lot of annoying glitches and for many these systems are still too expensive most agree we are still just getting started then to catch up heads a virtual reality studio in berlin he says the technology will have its big break soon enough thanks to some exciting innovations in brains it would likely be the goggles have improved significantly in the last 2 years last year we experian. the quantum leap forward when prices became affordable and quality rose to a range that justify the cost of not just want to care shelf and his partner philip vending produce virtual reality content that's recently the organized if they are event alongside the. the biggest german film festival. to them there's no such thing as one stereotypical b.r. user. in 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. when 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 of yarn they're 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. until i found a ford. for years they've been saying the wii our industry has a lot of potential but here's a reality check in 21000 users around the world spend 5700000000 euros on v. our hardware and software sounds like

a lot in gaming use of spent over 150000000000 euros 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 structures and a high let concentration in the air make accessing the interior extremely dangerous for humans which is why a 360 degree camera robot is taking over the images it captures can be were viewed with p.r. goggles. we used those who robot to get right to the center of the cathedral right under the 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 minutes before the fire filmmakers are you and victor are you know i had finished shooting a 3 d. documentary on the world famous church. after the fire we realized we had captured a moment of 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. one of the kind depictions of the cathedrals damaged interior else is most of 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 . there you can. virtual reality goggles let you independently explore the cathedral in this 16 minute long film censors enable you to navigate through the building freely using your own body movements but the experience is strictly limited to v.r. 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 see. we've had a look at the installation which offers a unique acoustic experience listening to music just the way it sounded when composer johann sebastian bach headed performed in the 18th century. the chapel it's. a mystical place for both fans around the world burned down $774.00 this

painting was all that was left of it. now it's been rebuilt in virtual reality. blueprints for the architecture and sound composition were kept as faithful to the original as possible. as it seems 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 bird 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 chapels accused of the work and sounds just like it did in past 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. only a tree frog hopping from limb to limb. in this virtual reality installation participants can take on the lives of 5 different animals. when 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 and it's simply amazing. you know clue guy and her team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin designed this me our installation being 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 we wanted to create an emotional experience that you can delve right into we wanted 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 impressive as 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 is just a bit too bulky even for me to expose 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. i'm curious to see what will happen what are your experiences with what devices. through us and what do you still want to experience in virtual reality that is not on your facebook or d.w. dot com now is it from me they care and so you will.
