Just a year ago Oculus and Force Field VR launched a virtual reality experience related to the life of Anne Frank. The very beautiful content was an opportunity to commemorate the little girl's 89th birthday.
Today, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the birth of Anne Frank, the application makes its free debut on Oculus Quest.
An intense and touching journey
The partnership with the Anne Frank House Foundation allowed the highest level of detail in the 3D exploration of the house. The place where the young girl victim of the Holocaust hid for two years (from 1942 to 1944) from the Dutch occupation by the Nazis has been perfectly reconstructed.
It will be possible to wear the viewer and visit every single room in which Anna and the other 7 occupants lived. The experience is touching and immersive, also offering numerous elements of interaction with the environment.
The paintings, the girl's notes and other objects have a "life of their own" and tell a story parts of the history allowing a greater understanding of the life of that house.
They are 25 minutes, such is the duration of the visit, truly intense and special. It is an example of how VR can transport you into experiences that are difficult to reproduce. The Anne Frank House in VR has already been nominated for the final win in this year's prestigious VR Social Impact Award.
For Oculus Quest, this is one of the first applications with educational purposes. The choice fell on a shape high level of learning: that which involves the heart as well as the mind and memory.
Although VR headsets were driven by gaming in the initial phase, an approach knowledge and in-depth analysis will mark the take-off of this very engaging technology. There there are a thousand possible VR applications that will form a special bond between the notion and the emotion.
As anticipated, the Anne Frank House in VR is available for download completely free.
