Journey Into The Abyss - Black Sea Shipwrecks - A Virtual Experience (360 Edition)

Описание: In October 2018 it was announced that the world's oldest intact shipwreck, from the Ancient Greek Period, had been discovered over 2 km below the surface in the Black Sea. This was one of 65 remarkable discoveries made during the Black Sea Maritime Project - one of the largest multi-disciplinary maritime archaeology projects ever attempted. These wrecks can only be accessed using specialist deep sea robotics, such as Remotely Operated Vehicles or submarines capable of withstanding the extreme pressures at these depths. This means that video or photos of these remarkable sites is often the only way that people can learn about these sites. However in this instance photogrammetry was used to accurately record every wreck site discovered, permitting the creation of detailed models of each ship. Using the power of virtual reality it is possible to faithfully recreate these shipwrecks allowing anyone to virtually dive on these amazing sites for the first time.

This is the 360 version - grab your VR headset, google cardboard, or simply your mobile device, and join us on a journey into the depths of the Black Sea abyss to discover amazing shipwrecks covering almost 2500 years of maritime activity. If you have trouble viewing 360 videos, why not try a desktop-friendly 2D version of this film instead:    • Journey Into The Abyss - Black Sea Shipwre...      • Journey Into The Abyss - Black Sea Shipwre...
