A team of scientists have created a virtual reality tour that allows users to ‘teleport’ themselves into the Grand Pyramid of Giza and explore its architecture.
Using 3D technology, the Scan Pyramids Project allows visitors wearing headsets to take a guided tour inside the Grand Gallery, the Queen’s Chamber and other ancient rooms not normally accessible to the public.
The void itself is visible on the tour, appearing like a dotted cloud.
When looking through their 3D goggles, visitors can see the enormous stones of the pyramid as if they were real, and walk virtually along its corridors, chambers and hidden spaces.
As they approach the pyramid from the outside, the tour even includes audio of Cairo’s deafening and ever-present traffic.
