Description
Two hundred years ago the first virtual-reality experiences were born in Edinburgh, not from digital technologies, but from the mastery of painted perspective, the control of space and light and an understanding of the psychology of human perception. Robert Barker’s Panorama rotunda in London’s Leicester Square created a sensation in the early 1790s. This exhibition explores the panorama’s history and gives you a chance to taste the experience of its very first visitors.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
