Our VR experiences
Notionism is not part of our philosophy, but surely we do not renounce extreme reliability with respect to historical sources. We take care of the most minute details in a “maniacal” way from an architectural point of view. Furthermore, our reconstructions of the ancient settings and characters are extremely accurate. In this regard, we are deeply rigorous also thanks to the contribution of the scientific directors who have helped us with their expertise in each historical period.
Come to discover the countless houses and monuments, do not miss a visit to the many shops and taverns scattered all around the reconstructed scenario, approach the animals (not yet to be caressed) and look out for the ancient architectures. Last but not the least, you can also interact with the multitude of talking characters, carefully dressed according to the fashion of the time.
Gaming Experiences
B2B PROJECTS
Our company can design and implement, through the experience already acquired with our works, any other architectural and environmental reconstruction based on the needs of external clients, with the usual maximum historical reliability which ensures emotionally enjoyable experiences.
External Experiences and Events
Back to Bo starts on 10 June 2022 on the mezzanine floor of Palazzo Pepoli, Museum of the History of Bologna: new virtual tours in ancient Bologna created by La Macchina del Tempo. The exhibition is part of the prestigious Genus Bononiae museum circuit.
In 2020 in Florence, Palazzo Medici Riccardi hosted the exhibition “TUTANKHAMUN: Journey to Eternity”. The highlight of the exhibition was a Virtual Reality experience, in which visitors could experience firsthand the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
The VR experience was visited by over 10,000 people.
