I Went Down to the Titanic in VR — and It Changed How I Think About the Tragedy
Titanic: Echoes from the Past is an immersive virtual reality experience by Eclipso that invites visitors to explore the Titanic like never before. Blending historical research, cinematic storytelling, and cutting-edge VR technology, the experience takes you 3,800 meters below the Atlantic to the shipwreck before transporting you back to the Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912. Through an engaging narrative, interactive environments, and meticulously reconstructed details, Titanic: Echoes from the Past offers a powerful and educational way to rediscover one of history’s most iconic tragedies.
The World Beyond The Seen
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to step into a virtual simulation? Well, students and collaborators at the Digital Storytelling Lab invited participants to enter a world of glitches, doppelgängers, and shifting realities. On November 10th, I had the opportunity to attend "Post-Reality: A Prototype from the Edge of the Internet," a live experiment hosted at the Elinor Bunim Munroe Film Center.
