We are thrilled to be working with the #NewPalmyra group on a large scale historical reconstruction of the ancient city of Palmyra for both virtual and augmented/mixed reality. Located in modern-day Syria, Palmyra has gained international attention in recent years due to the widespread destruction of the site by ISIS/ISIL.
While still in its early stages, the Digital Palmyra project seeks to partner with activists, academics, artists, and laypeople to advance our knowledge of the city and its culture through an immersive digital reconstruction, preserving and protecting the city once known as the Jewel of the Desert.
