Rome Reborn® takes you back in time to the Flavian Amphitheater (“Colosseum”) and nearby monuments. Teleport from site to site to visit the arches of Constantine and Titus, the Colosseum, the Meta Sudans, the Temple of Venus and Rome, the Ludus Magnus, and the iconic Colossus of the Sun. Like all of Rome Reborn’s apps, this one offers expert commentary as well as reconstructions of the monuments as they appeared in antiquity and panoramic photographs showing you how they look today.
You will learn about the leaders responsible for commissioning the monuments, go inside the Temple of Venus and Rome (Rome’s largest religious sanctuary) to see the stunning cult statues, and get up close to the reliefs on the arches of Constantine and Titus, whose colors have been lovingly restored. We also take you to places not readily accessible to visitors to Rome, including inside the Venus cella of the Temple of Venus and Rome and down to the underground chambers of the Colosseum.
disappointing use of VR. The app is visually disappointing: simple, flat texturing; restricted viewpoints; lack of parallax; worst of all, distored views. Narration is slow and tedious.
Hopefully, someone will create a "Rome Reborn" that you can walk through and explore; this is not it.
Nice add on to Rome Reborn. I purchased the original Rome Reborn and found it really interesting albeit disappointing in its application of VR. This takes a section of Ancient Rome and goes into more detail. As in the first Rome Reborn I found the graphics to be a little primitive but they serve their purpose, a little more work could be done on the scaling as it is not quite right. As before, this is not a model where you can walk freely as in Google Earth VR but a series of VR stills that can be viewed from many different angles. One key difference with this one is that you are not up in the air in your virtual balloon looking down but are now spending time at ground level mostly. I enjoyed this more than the first APP as the developers have been able to provide more detailed graphics on the major structures and you are more up close and personal and able to see reliefs and statues in detail.
There is an excellent Time Warp feature which overlays the graphics with a VR photo of where you are stood in Ancient Rome - a really good feature and found it fascinating. As in the first VR APP, I found the commentary really interesting and clearly a lot of effort goes into this. For anyone interested in Ancient Rome this is a very worthwhile purchase and good value.
