Viking village reconstruct worlds and space that existed in the past. Virtual Reality has proved to be an excellent medium for recreating worlds that existed in the past. Virtual Reality offers the people a unique possibility to have an immersive experience centered around life in an ancient Viking settlement. The Virtual Viking Village is base on an actual excavated site, but with only two of the five houses. Objects can be touched and houses can be entered.
Users can walk around, go down to the harbor and enjoy the scenic view.
Natural ambiant sound, like cries of seagulls, are also implemented. A voiceover has been recorded to give the users information as they pass certain points in the area. The Virtual Viking Village can be used in field trials for long distance education, in history or art. It can also be used in networked museums. As the Virtual Viking Village is networked, it is possible for users to meet and interact with remotely connected users in the ancient Viking settlement.
