1943 Berlin Blitz, is a virtual reality application developed by the BBC and the studio Immersive VR Education. Thanks to virtual reality, they have brought back to life a recording made by a journalist, in order to immerge us during the bomber flight, the night of September 3, 1943, in the World WarII.
🔥 On the night of September 3, 1943, in the middle of World War II, a Lancaster bomber named F for Freddie took off from Langar airfield in Nottinghamshire to go bomb Berlin. On board, the crew and the BBC journalist Wynford Vaughan-Thomas and his sound engineer Reg Pidsley for a mission with no guaranteed return.
📻. During the flight, Reg Pidsley recorded the comments of the “frontline” journalist Wynford who described what he saw. This recording was broadcast the next night on British radio and allowed many British citizens to understand the commitment of the RAF crews.
To conclude, the authenticity of the audio recording combined with virtual reality makes the 1943 Berlin Blitz experience, one of the most amazing VR educational historical experience. They were successful in bringing the past to life with an intensity that was not possible before.
The original radio program by Wynford Vaughan-Thomas is available in full, on Radio 4 Extra on the BBC iPlayer Radio.
To this day, Vaughan-Thomas is one of the best-known war correspondents of the World War II. His gripping reports brought him notoriety in Britain, giving those at home a real insight into what it was to actually “be on the front line”.
1943 Berlin Blitz is available for free on Steam, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift platforms. You can also find the 360-degree video but for more immersion, we recommend to use a VR headset.
