DOMUS

An entertaining experience using virtual reality. Rebuild a ruin from the destroyed city of Pompeii as a building block for others to ultimately recreate the entire city. An educational tool to show what an actual domus looked like that uses the modern technology of VR as opposed to a standardized square that was helpful when only textbooks were available.
