Explore Armenia’s Medieval Monasteries in Interactive 360° Panoramas
June 7, 2017 12:59 PM Subscribe
Today, the Armenian landscape is dotted with spectacular churches, the most notable of which date back to the medieval period... Today, many of these historic monasteries are still off the beaten path, perched overlooking vast gorges or hidden away in forested valleys. This is part of what the 360GreatArmenia VR app and website is trying to solve for by making virtual tours available from anywhere. ... the project has captured more that 300 virtual reality tours of ancient sites within modern Armenia.
This is an amazing website. One of the seven wonders of the internet. Thank you.

Okay, it's working now, and if you have access to VR, even just google cardboard, it is AMAZING.

Anyone interested should check out Poemas del río Wang; they have lots of posts about this kind of thing, e.g. Armenian monasteries in Iran and Armenia minute by minute.
