Rome Reborn: Roman Forum(ドキュメンタリー・歴史、教育、旅行)の概要
概要
The Roman Forum was the civic center of ancient Rome and the single most admired quarter of the Eternal City. Here were located the Senate House, law courts, important temples, and historic monuments. Today, the Forum is in ruins, and even those able to visit have a difficult time understanding it. This app offers you the chance to take an interactive, self-guided tour of over 30 features in the Forum, which have been digitally reconstructed by archaeologists to show you how they appeared in the year AD 320. At many stops, you can fade between the Forum as it appears today and the way it looked in antiquity. As you take your visit, you may listen to commentary about what you are seeing given by distinguished experts. When you are finished with your tour, go to our website (www.romereborn.org), register, and gauge your level of expertise. Earn medals for your achievements and share them on social media. Now, you’re ready to go on your next adventure in the ancient city!

Rome Reborn: Roman Forum(ドキュメンタリー・歴史、教育、旅行)の評価とレビュー
Fantastic experience! Fantastic experience! I was able to experience Rome as it was ~2000 years ago and I absolutely enjoyed it. +1) The narration is good and provides a lot of information. There are also interviews with experts and I liked the meta-perspective of the narration (e.g. "we have no historical records about the interior of this chamber, that's why in our model the door is closed" or "we are not sure about the exact placement of this object but according to a study from 2005 it makes sense to place it here"). +2) The 3D models look very good (shadows, reflections, textures, fire/smoke/water etc), there is for example very little repetition in the floor tiles, it feels like every tile is individual. The human avatars look photorealistic and some of the statues were truly amazing! A lot of attention to details, I like it. +3) There is a lot to explore and one gets a very good sense about the dimensions of the Forum. Looks of the interior are provided whenever there is enough historical evidence about how it might have looked like. The 360 photos of the current historical site were also helpful to get a sense of perspective. Overall, I could easily immerse myself. +/-4) It has been critized that the model cannot be freely explored. I didn't expect this at all when I bought the app and think the predefined viewpoints fit perfectly (after all, it's like a guided tour). However, as I was standing there, I still thought it would be a very nice addition, and so I hope the producers will provide a freely explorable version some time in the future (as they have promised).
Brings the forum to life. I visited the forum many years ago and wish that I had experienced this application beforehand. It is my favourite of the Rome Reborn series. You are placed at several points at ground level around the forum and each position has commentary explaining what each building was and narrative on associated emporers. As in the other Reborn Apps I have tried, the movement is restricted so you can only jump from place to place but I can live with that.
The graphics work well in the App and each building is brought to life with plenty of details - Again you can stand in a spot and have an image overlayed of how the forum looks today - it really brings it home how much has been unessesarily destroyed and pillaged over the centuries.
I hope that the Rom Reborn team have an ultimate goal of an entire VR recreation of ancient Rome where you can freely move about - that would be fantastic !
Interesting! But poorly implemented. This app lets you compare what Rome looked like historically and compare it with the present (ruins). Archeologically speaking, it's interesting. In terms of VR implementation, it's very poorly done.
What you get: * You can stand in several spots around the Roman forum and see a 360-degree spherical photo of the modern ruins. Click a button to switch between the photo and the computer rendering of ancient Rome. * Some narrative "tour guide" audio describing the location without much depth.
What you DON'T get: * Freedom of movement. You're stuck in place. Viewpoints are offered, but you can't move around. * 3D environment. This is a 2D image displayed as a 360-degree spherical view. You can look in all directions, but the images are not 3D.
I see that there are other Rome-themed offerings from this company, but I think I'll skip those.
Excellent Cultural Heritage VR. There are not that many cultural heritage/history experiences on VR platforms, and many of the ones that are available are not scientifically vetted or accurate. Rome Reborn appears to have been created by a team of archaeologists using the latest research on art and architectural history and archaeology. There is even metadata and scientific documentation for the 3D models available on their website.
The architectural reconstructions appear very accurate and the audio content is incredibly detailed. If you want to learn about Ancient Rome and ancient Roman culture, politics, and architecture, there is not a better tool, VR or otherwise, than Rome Reborn VR. Recommended!
Archaeologist Approved. I took a six-week long summer school course in Rome in 2016, in which we learned about the topography and history of Rome. There was so much to learn and absorb; it would have been so great to have an app like this to review the content we learned on site after returning home. Beyond that, it is also now fantastic to be able to explore the site remotely while back in the States, when one gets Rome sick. Highly recommend for digital tourist or teaching purposes!
Start of something grand. I am a college librarian, and our library brought this VR program into a Western Civ class. The students that participated really enjoyed their immersion into historic Rome, and the Time Warp feature was well received by the instructor and the students.
This program offers a lot of hope for the future, but it is not a complete enough experience to meet the demands of student engagement for a single program.
While this program is but a glimpse of what might come down the road with future Rome Reborn projects, I am encouraged by what this team is doing for the future of academic VR content. I encourage other educators looking for useful VR content in the classroom to look at purchasing some of the Rome Reborn projects and support this team. Especially when the programs are on a 4.99 sale price!
