Goggles bring on tons family legacy to life to 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 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.

Over 80 actors in various b. R. Specialists helped to recreate this historic moment in time you literally marching with the people youre standing there youre looking at you know dr king gave this speech youre 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 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 viewing 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. Kerchiefs heads a Virtual Reality studio and he says the technology will have its big break soon enough thanks to some exciting innovations in brains it 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 a range that justified the cost of not just 1. 00 to. His partner philip vending produce Virtual Reality content thats recently the organized if they are event alongside the. The biggest german film festival. To them theres no such thing as one stereotypical b. R. User. This medium has many different types of target viewers theres the classic lean back audience that we know from television they watch content and like being told stories but theyre not keen on interacting its really just about seeing a good story. Then youve got the classic gamers who want to interact but who dont necessarily need photo realistic surroundings theyre looking for 3 d. Generated surroundings ideally live 3 d. Generated surroundings that they can manipulate and can when its and then theres the target audience thats not really looking for entertainment theyre mostly from the industrial sector and use the yarn theyre designing processes or to create previsualization they work in the Automotive Industry in architecture or in medicine.

For years theyve been saying the wii our industry has a lot of potential but heres a reality check in 2019 users around the world spend 5700000000 euros on wii our hardware and software sounds like a lot in gaming user spent over 150000000000 year olds in the same time span by 2022 the vi in the street is expecting its turnover to rise to 15000000000 euros but 1st it needs to improve the whereas it offers still we are lets you travel to places that were impossible to visit before for example world famous construction site unique images from inside the not a damn cathedral in paris after it was devastated by a fire in 2019 new structures and a high lead 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 a few p. R. Goggles. We used to those who robot to get right to the center of the cathedral right under the gaping hole we wouldnt 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 chloe for 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 in the totems 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 accompanies the reconstruction of the Famous Church its. As one of the kinds depictions of the cathedral is damaged interior elses 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 youre really there. So its a. Virtual reality goggles let you independently explore the cathedral in this 16 minute long film sensors enable you to navigate through the building freely using your own body movements but the experience is strictly limited to v. A. 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 thats the goal for Virtual Reality and the more senses come into use the more real the experience will seem. Weve 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 its. A mystical place for bach fans around the world down 774. 00 this painting was all that was left of it. Now its been rebuilt in Virtual Reality. Prints for the architecture and sound composition were kept is faithful to the original as possible. As it happens to him bird chapel is almost like atlantis kind of like a sunken place of longing for bach for years i dreamt of recreating the bird so others could experience it and that dream has finally come true about so much. Music 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 of the work and sounds just like it did in past times. We all can make dreams come true. Ive always wanted to be a crocodile for instance. Whats 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. I can be still my favorite animal is the vampire bat its so cuddly and i love the way its experience has been recreated you get to fly through the rain forest by night and with a bad night vision and its simply amazing for the theme. You know clue guy and her team at the Interactive MediaFoundation Company in berlin designed this nie our installation they recreated 400. 00 hectares of brazils to 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 its working or weve 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. A fog. Passing our knowledge with Virtual Reality works especially well when the experience is in some passive is flying over the rain forest. What is on offer is getting more and more spectacular even if theres still room for improvement i think theres work to be done in graphics and resolution the greatest challenge for the industry will be to make the goggles lighter and more mobile this thing here for example its 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 wont have these anymore and instead well 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.
