Ancient World: Step back in time and use your phone to view the ancient world as it once was. Simply download the experience, press play, and look around to see historic buildings, places, and landmarks brought back to life, fully restored to reflect their heyday. This easy-to-use immersive experience requires no technical knowledge; just relax and enjoy the journey. Explore the streets of Ancient Pompeii using immersive virtual technology on your phone to view temples, shrines, and basilicas, and learn about its people. Visit a villa, a bakery, Roman baths, and the large theatre. Twelve immersive 360° digital reconstructions take you on a journey through time. See how the coastline changed with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, turning Pompeii from a seaside city to inland ruins.
Notes:
This Ancient World experience is guided; you will use your phone to view sites reconstructed through virtual reality. Participants must be able to walk for 1½ miles at Pompeii. Additionally, the coach parking area is a 15-minute walk (each way) to/from the entrance. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel, grass, and steps. Pompeii is not wheelchair accessible. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Backpacks and large bags are not allowed inside the Pompeii excavation site; lockers are not available. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
