#virtual reality

The innovative platform based on Virtual Reality (VR) solutions created by the FBK - 3DOM unit with the aim of facilitating remote training of emergency response teams and technical staff, simulating intervention cases and making the various teams interact to better plan the actions to be taken, is now active.

The Sycamore Gap Tree, a majestic 100-year-old tree, symbol of Hadrian's Wall in England's Northumberland, made famous by the film "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves", had been felled due to an apparent act of vandalism. FBK has returned it to the community by creating a digital reconstruction of it, allowing the emotional experience of the Sycamore Gap Tree to be relived as before the event.

Virtual reality now substantially shapes the collective imagination. On an imaginative level, it is perhaps the most futuristic of concepts: laser projections, holograms, simulations, augmented reality, and three-dimensional helmets are part of a baggage of images and concepts in which the boundaries between science and science fiction, between research dreams and established results, blur.

From the discovery of fire to the printing of the Bible, technology has never stopped involving religion. FBK's ICT and Humanities Centers work in synergy on the implications of an app that can virtualize objects and places of worship.
