New York Times VR - The Modern Games

New York Times VR - The Modern Games​​​​​​​
Winner of the 2016 Webby Award for Best Cinematic VR Experience.

This was a collaboration between The Mill and The New York Times to mark the start of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. We recreated four iconic Olympic stadiums in Stereoscopic 360/VR using archival photographs and aerial surveys. The experience uses sound and pictures to tell the stories of unforgettable moments in Olympic history.
