Virtual Roman Road

I’ve been interested in the way museums display items and information ever since a school trip took me around several museums with an eye to studying just that, so I read this article in USA Today with great interest. It explains how a museum in Rome has created a virtual tour down a major road, the Via Flaminia, and everything alongside it. Viewers can switch between the reconstruction, of everything from funery monuments to a villa, to images of the locations today. Furthermore, a section of the villa is going to be uploaded into popular online world Second Life, letting people from around the world visit. Hopefully this project is successful and the use of technology is developed.
