Pretty amazing project here, these guys are mapping out the whole of Chernobyl as it is, so you can now visit it with VR equipment from the safety of your own home. Or, will be able to whenever they finish. Pretty cool so I thought I would share.




Every building and site has a story, and they are often of mistakes. Learn from them before they are gone forever.

Huh, that's kinda neat. It almost looks like they are making it into a game since they say they are going to insert people into it. It's a cool concept but I still plan on going in person one day!




There's the crazy one, the photographer, and me, the driver, a mix of both. And we're a pretty kickass team if I do say so myself.

They used a technique called photogrammetry, which is used in creating the graphics of certain video games we see today. I predict this technology will be used more often in the future.

Wow this is amazing! I'm a huge fan of Chernobyl and Pripyat, and plan to go there one day but with this I can somewhat experience it even sooner!

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I've always wanted to go there and I think this may kind of ruin that dream.

I can just picture myself getting frustrated at the angles that are unavailable etc.

Not only that, but think of all of the experiences you'll miss out on. You'll only have one sense (sight.)

Regardless, it's still a pretty cool idea. Seems like I found a reason to get a VR setup at some point.

Oh this is good.




It was in September, we saw their silhouettes fade away, outlined on the horizon against the rays of the setting sun.
