From this Sunday 2 December 2018, the public will have the opportunity to go on a guided VR Timetravel (virtual reality) tour of Luxembourg City.
In September 2017, the City of Luxembourg (VdL) launched the pilot project "VR Timetravel" carried out in Pfaffenthal by the company UrbanTimetravel and the ICT Department of the City, in close collaboration with City Museums and support from the Bus Service. After a test phase, the project will now be accessible to the general public for an assessment phase of approximately 6 months after which the City will decide on the larger-scale development of the project and its gradual extension to other districts.
Thus, from 2 December, the City of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg City Tourist Office (LCTO) will offer two guided VR Timetravel tours each Sunday. A guide will take participants on foot from the city centre to the "Muerbelsmillen", a former mill located in Pfaffenthal, and will introduce them to different sites and tourist buildings by enriching their explanations of old photos and other historical documents through an augmented reality application.
At Pfaffenthal, visitors will take the "Timetravel" bus for a 2km ride that will plunge them into the 19th century thanks to 3D glasses: they will discover the narrow streets of the suburb and meet the famous Luxembourg composer Laurent Menager, people wearing vintage clothes or carriages pulled by virtual horses. Enriched with many animated images, sounds and music, this multisensory tour will allow visitors to fully experience this journey into the past, while comparing today's Pfaffenthal to that of 1867. The tour will end on the platform of the Pfaffenthal-Ville-Haute lift, giving participants a panoramic view of the capital.
