house

A new project by researchers from Lund University has used 3D modelling (RIGHT) and virtual reality technology (BELOW) to investigate how Roman visitors would have experienced the House of the Greek Epigrams (BELOW RIGHT).

Exploring a Roman house in VR

In order to explore how this lavish home was experienced by Roman viewers, researchers first used 3D-modelling software to create a reconstruction of the house. This 3D model was based on information from an earlier Lund University project that digitally mapped a neighbourhood in Pompeii, in combination with records from the excavation of the house and other information about Roman architecture.
