Parioli: immersive Italian-themed sim

Posted on October 3, 2006 by

Man, those folks over at Parioli sim have created some incredible 360 degree images of places in Italy that really make me wish I was there.  I really wanted to walk over to the Coloseum and hang out in the bleachers.

This panoramic photo of a plaza in Italy was so real it seems like you could walk in the front door and check-in.

There are a set of giant spheres with the image of piece of art projected on the walls.  You can sit in the middle of the sphere and literally be surrounded by art.  It’s really quite stunning. Bravo, Parioli!

    That second picture is in Paris. And if i’m not mistaken, it looks like they are using Stephen zugzwang’s vr box and pictures.

    Thanks. I’ve been all over Italy and don’t recall ever seeing such a structure.
