Exhibitions
La Macchina del Tempo
Bologna
La Macchina del Tempo (The Time Machine) is the title of the new 3D exhibition at the Museum of the History of Bologna, from 8 April, 2017 to 7 January, 2018. It is a virtual tour that takes visitors back in time, so they can experience the Bologna of the 13th century. The project is promoted by the CARISBO Foundation and the Genus Bononiae Foundation. It was designed by Tower and Power with HTC VIVE technology. A computer, two projectors and a viewer catapult visitors into a fully immersive experience. They walk through a perfectly reconstructed 3D scene, along streets or beneath the medieval towers of Bologna. The virtual extension of the city is about 2 km², with more than 1000 buildings (houses, 88 towers and churches), recreated in their exact original locations and with a great attention to detail. The historical reconstruction was entrusted to architect and art historian Carlo De Angelis and to professor of medieval history, Rolando Dondarini, University of Bologna. The tour is opened to visitors aged 12 and over. Further information and updates www.genusbononiae.it/
