Vintage VR

Vintage VR is a virtual reality experience where you view a collection of over 700 stereoscopic images from the 19th and early 20th centuries, as people did with stereoscopes more than a century ago. The images include views from atop the pyramids, battlefields in France during World War I and an alligator hunt.

Viewing the images

The experience takes place in a single room decorated in a Victorian style, with the photographs as its focus. You use the trigger on your Vive controllers to move between images, giving your eyes time to adjust and focus on each one. The stereoscopic photographs were made with bulky cameras using relatively crude techniques, so they may be less comfortable to view than modern stereo images.
