Millennial Cities at the Art Explora Festival
The Millennial Cities experience was developed in 2017 by Ubisoft using data from Iconem, a startup specialized in 3D scanning of heritage sites. Ubisoft created an original virtual reality experience that provides a realistic and emotionally rich immersion into six monuments destroyed or threatened by recent conflicts or natural erosion in Syria, Libya, and Iraq.
