Virtual Orkney North Isles

Description

The Virtual Orkney North Isles is one of the mediums created to build a shared exhibit virtual platform. The galleries and virtual tours are available online, displaying the heritage of all six isles so that Orkney communities and users from around the world can virtually explore and compare the beauty of remote Orkney Northern Islands’ natural and cultural legacy. Simultaneously, a touch screen and VR set (not dependent on internet coverage) showcasing the virtual exhibits have been placed on-site in the heritage centres in Orkney North Isles. The videos and audio used for the menu system reflect the unique atmosphere and climate determined by Orkney’s natural elements, such as wind, ocean, sea birds, and the ancient native Orkney sheep.
