Recent reportage talked about the time for the utilization of the modern virtual reality technology in order to view the Holocaust victim Anne Frank’s home.
Apparently, the view is available on Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR for the Anne Frank House VR. The virtual reality exhibition takes those who view the place on a trip into the Secret Annex. It is a “photorealistic detail” of the place.
The house where Frank with parents and sister stayed in hiding between 1942 and 1944.
The article stated, “The 25-minute experience explores all of the hideout’s rooms, which are furnished in the style of the times. The actual Secret Annex is empty now, but the VR furnishings help to give a sense of what it was like for the occupants to live there.”
It will launch with the foundation of the Anne Frank House Museum housed in Amsterdam, Netherlands (Holland). The experience will come inside of two other locations including New York, United States and Berlin, Germany.
All of this will unroll later in the year.
“Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl is one of the most widely read books in the world, and the Anne Frank House Museum draws in over 1 million visitors per year. Frank died in a concentration camp after Nazis raided the Secret Annex and arrested its occupants in 1944,” the article states.
Furthermore, the Develop of Strategy for Oculus, Tina Tran, opined, “One of the most promising and important uses of VR is how it can help us see history and current events from a whole new perspective that is more immersive and powerful than any other medium.”
Duly note, the Anne Frank House VR will be free from the Oculus Store. It will provide an important experience for those who wish to see a piece of crucial history in the Holocaust.
