Google Petra VR

A breathtaking Google cardboard adventure, bringing the world closer to the rose red city than ever before. Seeing is believing when it comes to the extraordinary wonders of Petra, a destination so many of us dream of exploring. With an endeavour to make the historic city accessible to all, we worked closely with our friends at Google to provide unprecedented access to the UNESCO World Heritage site in astonishing virtual reality. An interactive 360º expedition, Petra VR transports visitors into the heart of the iconic facades carved into the hills of Jordan over 2000 years ago, where their history and secrets are waiting to be discovered. Building on our pioneering web-VR work, the experience is a true fusion of engaging audio narration, beautifully captured imagery, intelligent navigation and immersive hotspots. With over a million visitors in just its first week, visitors have been captivated by a truly incredible journey, following the footsteps and admiring the genius of the ancient Nabataeans.
