The Project is under construction, and its implementation depends largely on the support we can get.

Words are sometimes not enough: an exceptional digital reconstruction of the area of the German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp Auschwitz-Birkenau based on the archival sources of the Auschwitz Memorial.

“Auschwitz VR” is a 3D computer app enabling the users to explore one of the most notorious, tragic, historical places in Europe. It is an accurate 3D reconstruction based on reliable sources – including photographs, technical documentation and other archival materials.

VR, the 360° stereoscopic view and accurately detailed rendering will give the opportunity to see every part of the camp as well as enter the buildings reconstructed with great diligence.

We are already planning to prepare learning scenarios based both on reliable historical research and the testimonies of survivors. These stories will tell about the human experience of horrific realities of concentration camp life.

Photoscan 3D

The reconstruction involved the analysis of archival photographs, architectural documentation and the use of 3D photoscan.

Sound layers

10 musical pieces were composed for the application. They were inspired by the period, people and events linked with the memorial.


Renovation of photographs

2000 archive photographs were digitally renovated during the preparation of the project.

Authenticity of the Memorial site

Diorama

The technologies used in Auschwitz VR do not close the possibility of using the created materials in other creative fields.
We transferred the digital model of the Gate of Death from the virtual world directly to 3D printers and CNC machines.
