(soft jingle)
(instrumental music)
- Today we're going on a small group tour
of the Colosseum and
the ancient Roman ruins
and we're doing it in virtual reality.
(instrumental music)
- Today we're gonna look
around the Roman Forum,
which is kinda like the political center
of the Roman Empire.
We'll go to the top of the Palantine Hill,
which is where the emperors lived.
And then we'll go down to the Colosseum,
which was entertainment for the masses.
(instrumental music)
- So the best thing about this tour,
we get to skip all the lines.
Alright, we made it to the top.
(instrumental music)
And you get to experience
the Colosseum in 3D
with these virtual reality glasses.
- When people use the
virtual reality goggles,
they love it, they absolutely love it.
You're able to see pretty much exactly
how everything looked
thousands of years ago.
It just sort of brings it to life.
(instrumental music)
- So we just finished
our tour of the Colosseum
and now we're off to see
the ancient Roman ruins.
(instrumental music)
So we are standing in the
middle of the Roman Forum,
which is basically the
equivalent of downtown or CBD.
So there was things like
banks, shopping malls,
religious ceremonies, and as you can see
it is absolutely huge.
(instrumental music)
So this was the main
road into Palantine Hill,
which is the palace of the Roman Empire.
It's kinda the equivalent
to the White House.
So that little hut down there
is actually reminiscent
of what Roman's houses
would have looked like
in the archaic times.
(instrumental music)
Wow, this was a really cool
way to experience Rome.
Virtual reality goggles, I felt like I was
being taken back in time.
We saw the Colosseum, the Roman Forum.
I definitely had the most thorough
experience of Ancient Rome.
