"TROY - Virtual Reality" In cooperation with Prof. Kormann's archaeology team from the University of Tübingen and supported by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, ART + COM Berlin has for the first time produced a large-formatted computer reconstruction of Troy. A fascinating travel in time through the nine different settlement periods of this legendary city has now become possible due to the most modern virtual reality technology. This varied 3D real-time visualizations system is supported by satellite data, military and archaeological maps. The digital site model encompasses an area of 400 km², integrating more than 2000 highly detailed historic buildings, fortresses, rivers and even coastal lines, which can be viewed in various degrees of resolution, from a bird's-eye or on-the-ground perspective. It is possible to take a virtual tour of imposing buildings or receive a glimpse of the every-day life of the city's population. A special person-machine interface allows each visitor to take an individually determined tour of the city's various eras. Original objects from the archaeological site on view in the exhibition have also been included in this reconstruction. Presented with kind support from ART +COM and Lang Audiovision AG, Lindlar
