Z3VR

Description

Step into the world of early computing with Z3VR, a virtual reality experience that lets you interact with the Z3—the first programmable, technically Turing-complete computer. Through an immersive simulation, you can operate the machine just like in the 1940s, pressing buttons and loading programs via punched film strips. A built-in tutorial guides you through the basics of programming and using the additional interfaces designed for creating and managing code. While currently optimized for VR, a flat-screen versión may be released in the future. Explore the historical mechanics of computing in a hands-on environment that blends education and experimentation. Despite a minor bug related to height reset in the museum entrance, Z3VR offers a unique glimpse into the origins of modern computing. Share your custom programs and discover what early code can do.
