I’ve always loved how travel lets us step into the past, but what if we could go even deeper? Imagine visiting an ancient ruin or historic site and, through a VR art installation, seeing it restored to its original glory complete with the sounds, colors, and energy of its heyday. As a composer and VR artist, I’m fascinated by how immersive experiences could bridge the gap between history books and real-world exploration.
Has anyone come across VR installations that do this well? I’d love to hear about examples where art and technology made a historical site feel more alive. Do you think this could deepen our connection to the places we visit, or would it distract from the authenticity of the experience? Curious to hear your thoughts!
