Use the magic of VR to take a flight in a hot air balloon over the glorious but now-vanished city of ancient Rome. See the city’s thousands of buildings (including all the major monuments such as the Colosseum, Forum, and Pantheon), learn about the famous seven hills, and find out how the ancient Romans lived, governed and provisioned themselves, took time off for recreation, and worshiped their gods. The app has more than 30 points of interest and over two hours of content.

Rome Reborn: Flight over Ancient Rome（探検、教育、旅行）の評価とレビュー
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!
Disappointing. There really isn't much to do here. You're above the ground, looking down from a hot air balloon. You can't go any closer to anything on the ground so it's just a bird's eye view the entire time. You can click on the map to teleport to different places but it's pretty limited. There is a recorded explanation for each place but I didn't find anything I really wanted to hear about. I thought this would be more interactive but it isn't at all. I don't want to look from above in a stagnant place, either.

Google Earth VRに期待してはいけない。 私は10年前にローマを訪れて以来、ローマに興味を持っており、当時のバーチャルローマを作るための努力を覚えています。 これはまだ進行中の作業のように感じます。Google Earth VRのような感覚で古代ローマのバージョンを期待してはいけない。
Do not expect Google Earth VR. I have been interested in Rome since visiting 10 years ago and remember efforts to create a virtual Rome back then. This still feels like a work in progress. Do not expect a version of Ancient Rome with a Google Earth VR feel to it.
Basically. you select a part of ancient Rome and are teleported there - sitting high above the city in a hot air balloon. You are in a fixed position, you cannot move, zoom in or out - you then listen to a detailed narration of the area you have selected. That is it in a nutshell
So there is no use of VR whatsoever - I guess you do get an idea of the scale of things from your fixed position but thats it as far as VR goes. What a waste of a medium.
The graphics are really poor, very simplistic to say the least and add to the disappointment.
Having said all of this the narration is interesting and as you listen you do feel that the view over Ancient Rome adds a little to the experience but this could and should be a lot better from a VR perspective and I hope this gets developed further with the right VR expertise behind it.
One last point, I purchased this on sale at £3.99 - the price of a couple of Esspressos in Rome and at that price level, if you have a genuine interest in ancient Rome it is a still a very worthwhile purchase. So for the price I paid 3 stars.
Missed Opportunity. This app has one thing going for it, which is an accurate and detailed model of ancient Rome. I read up on the Rome Reborn project and it's a serious academic effort that has been going on for many years. Unfortunately this VR app seems like they are just trying to capitalize on the model with minimal effort.
The whole app consists of picking a random topic from a list, at which point you are teleported to a random location, where you sit motionless in the air and listen to some history about the area. The history is good, but it's all so disconnected.
At the very least I expected some kind of guided tour where you float around the city and learn about the structures as you pass them. And the ability to fly freely around the model doesn't seem like too much to ask either. As of now there's not much point in this being a VR app, you could just look at a picture while listening to the narration and have the same experience.
Update: after further reflection I've updated my review to 3 stars rather than 2, but only because I support what they're doing. At this point purchasing the game should be considered as partially a donation to the project.
Roman Archaeology - Digital Version. I am a graduate student in Roman Archaeology, soon to graduate and begin a career in academia. It is so exciting to see tools like this being developed that I can use in the classroom. The content for this app is first rate, and exhaustively researched. Other such apps may crop up, but I highly doubt any will be so carefully produced by actual scholars in the field. Highly recommend this app to instructors at the collegiate and secondary school levels!
An Excellent Educational Tool. I taught secondary school over five years, and homeschooled my daughter for ten. I often introduced education computer games into her curriculum, to add some variety into the types of challenges she encountered. Rome Reborn is an excellent modern version of the same idea, but much more immersive and engaging for a young audience. I so wish I had had something like this when I was teaching! Nevertheless, it's great to get to enjoy it now.
