Vindolanda VR

Description

Step into ancient history with *Vindolanda VR*, a virtual reality recreation of the Roman fort at Vindolanda, developed as a dissertation project for the MSc Computer Game Engineering at Newcastle University. Explore the detailed remains of the fort in immersive VR, walking through reconstructed buildings and interacting with authentic writing tablets sourced from the Roman Inscriptions of Britain, licensed under Creative Commons 4.0. The experience brings Roman frontier life to life through carefully researched details, from ambient footsteps to period-accurate interiors. Powered by Unity and built with assets from Mixamo, itch.io, and the Unity Asset Store, *Vindolanda VR* combines educational depth with interactive exploration. The archery system draws inspiration from VRwithAndrew's open-source work under the Apache-2.0 license, while the entire project is freely available under the MIT License for study and expansion. Discover the past firsthand in this historically grounded VR journey.
