Step Inside Ramses the Great’s Ancient Egypt With Dazzling Immersive Tour

Last month, I traveled to ancient Egypt. It was an easy trip — no COVID tests, airport security lines or weather delays. I just climbed into a cinematic motion chair, strapped on a high-resolution VR headset and got swept into Queen Nefertari’s lavish tomb, a labyrinth of chambers covered in vivid floor-to-ceiling paintings depicting the queen’s life and times. 

A loquacious apparition of Nefertari herself, floating in midair and draped in a diaphanous blue gown, pointed out notable sights with a graceful sweep of her digital arms.
