Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

In the app you will find projects in augmented reality and virtual reality. You can try the simulator of the Lunar Base, go back in time, meet Yuri Gagarin, look into the black hole. Thanks to immersive technologies, you will turn from an observer into an active event participant. With a simple cardboard, you will find yourself blind place in a big city, find out how people with autism feel themselves. And if you don’t want to wear vr glasses, you can see the same project in 360 format. Hear stories about lost masterpieces, see permanently destroyed things, go into space or find yourself on the other side of the wormhole. Useful information: before using the application, install ARCore. Type "ARCore Google" in the search bar of the store and install the first application from Google in the list. To view stories in virtual reality, we recommend using VR glasses. The simplest cardboard or plastic cardboard is enough to make the experience more complete and exciting. But if for some reason you do not want to use them, the 360 display mode is provided. Come back for new stories! You can subscribe to push notifications to be the first to know about added projects. RIA.Lab is an experimental immersive journalism platform developed by RIA Novosti. If you have questions about the project or suggestions – write to [email protected]
