A Day in Pompeii

Abstract

"A Day in Pompeii" is an immersive, high-definition, stereoscopic installation designed by Zero One Animation for the Melbourne Museum. It tells the story of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and how, within 24 hours, a volcanic eruption completely destroyed the ancient city of Pompeii. Viewers are positioned in the installation as if they are actually looking out a window. For the first time, viewers can truly understand exactly how these dramatic events unfolded.
