About

Billed as the first, gaming-based, multi-user, real-time, virtual experience, Virtual Reality Notre Dame was an independent project by Digitalo Studios to recreate the interior of Notre-Dame de Paris. The VRND Demo is an exciting new application that takes you into a REAL virtual reality model of the famous Notre-Dame of Paris Cathedral. Unlike circular panoramas or slow and clunky VRML worlds, VRND: Notre-Dame is a REAL VR application with multi-user chatting and virtual tour guides. You can download the entire self-installing viewer and cathedral from this Website. It will enable you to experience the Notre-Dame Cathedral in all of its glory- virtually! and you don't need an expensive graphics workstation! The virtual tour guide technology was based on Unrealty's, but the VRND application and locale was all their own. This locale is a conversion of the original VRND interior map for use with Unrealty. There is no tour guide, and there are some graphical artifacts. Still, it represents one of the largest open interior virtual spaces built with the technology at the time.
