## What is Rome Reborn?

Have you ever wished you could travel back in time to see the Roman Forum at the peak of ancient Rome's splendor? Now you can! 

The Forum was the center of the ancient city. Here were located the major law courts, government buildings, temples of the state religion, and historic monuments. Today this heart of the ancient city is a jumble of ruins, making it hard to understand even by the millions of people fortunate enough to visit the archaeological park each year. 

Rome Reborn®  offers you the chance to re-experience the Forum. This app puts you in the driver's seat, making it possible to teleport on your own from site to site around Rome Reborn®'s reconstruction of the Forum, which took over twenty years of collaboration between archaeologists and graphics technicians to re-create. As you explore the Forum, you can read brief descriptions on the virtual tablet that always accompanies you and, if you wish, you may also listen to experts' explanations of the people, monuments, and buildings you are encountering along the way.  You can use the app's Time Warp feature to toggle between the ruins today and their original appearance.  Take a full visit for about 3 hours, or see just the sites of interest to you.  You can select any of the following languages: German, English, Italian.

Once you have finished using the app, you are encouraged to go to the Community section of Rome Reborn®'s website, register, take assessments to gauge your level of expertise, and earn rewards for your achievements. Share the results, if you wish, with your social network. Recruit new members and increase your status in our community.


With the Rome Reborn® app, you're always engaged and always in control!

### 2/5 — Not a True VR Experience

*2021-03-30*

All of the scenes are pre-rendered from a fixed vantage point. At a price point of CAD27.99, I was expecting to be able to freely navigate the 3D model as one would in most games nowadays. This only lets you pan/tilt and zoom inside of several fixed spherical projections. The bitmap rendering becomes pixelated when you zoom.

The user interface is terrible. All controls are in a needlessly huge “tablet” modal that blocks most of the screen when enabled. The tablet can be made smaller via the settings but it requires many taps on unintuitive arrows and then the preference is forgotten when you reopen the app.

The time warp feature that seems to be available at some vantage points actually move you to a different POV. You can only toggle time warp with the tablet open, so most of the screen is blocked when you toggle, making comparisons of the rendering to present day difficult at best. The renderings line up very poorly with the 360 photos of the present day forum.

I would normally seek a refund for such a disappointing app but given the importance of the project, I would rather let the developers use the proceeds to work on a new version that lets the iPad render the model in real-time. In the meantime I hope they update the description to be more reflective of the actual experience.
