Sagalassos Virtual Tour
About
This project is a prototype virtual tour of the Sagalassos archaeological site. Inside, you can explore the Sagalassos site and its different points of interest.
The project is built in Unity and features a model of the site created by Global Digital Heritage using 16,688 drone photographs. Sagalassos is also a site of research and excavation for the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven's Faculty of Arts and Archaeology program. You can learn more about the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project here.
This project includes two versions:
- A virtual reality experience for PCVR headsets
- A first-person perspective experience for mouse, keyboard, and monitor
The first-person version is currently the more stable of the two. In future releases, I plan to combine them into a single executable and to flesh out the UI/interaction systems for the VR version.
I began working on this project in December of 2021 for my Master's program as the final assignment for my Intro to Digital Humanities course. I hope to continue working on this project in the future and have plans to make the tour a collaborative experience.
