Inside Futurelab: Immersify (The Great Pyramid in 3D)

The Great Pyramid in 3D, From the BBC Series Ancient Invisible Cities explores the possibilities of virtual archaeology by scanning and digitally displaying historical architecture – in this case the Pyramid of Cheops in Giza. In this unique form of presentation, visitors can choose between different ways to explore the ancient structure and move interactively in a 3D environment with stereoscopic 360° video in 12K resolution. The experience is rounded off by a specially created soundtrack and live commentary by experts. For Deep Space 8K, the Ars Electronica Futurelab adapted the content for Immersify by creating a Unity 3D application that allows users to move interactively in three-dimensional space and freely control their field of vision. Interactive elements are thus incorporated into the storytelling.
