Ancient Rome Reborn Through Virtual Reality

A new virtual reality project called Flight Over Ancient Rome has been launched, allowing users to explore the city of Rome during the reign of Constantine. The project is the work of Professor Bernard Frischer, director of Rome Reborn, which uses 3D modeling and virtual reality to create accurate representations of ancient Rome.

The Flight Over Ancient Rome project takes users on a virtual tour of the city, including the Coliseum, the Monumental Temple of Venus and Rome, the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine, the Temple of Annona, the Roman Forum, the Temple of Saturn, the Capitoline Hill, and the Circus Maximus. The virtual tour is based on top research and academic studies by an international advisory committee. The app is available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android and is free for one week. The project offers users a unique opportunity to explore ancient Rome in a way that is both accurate and immersive.
