As an educator, I find Rome Reborn to be a tool of incalculable pedagogical value. Highly recommended to anyone interested in teaching or learning about Rome!

As a high school Latin teacher, I am fascinated by the program and its ability to put the user into the classical world. I am very excited to see how I can integrate this into my classes....

I recently completed my graduate studies at the University of Oregon and I wish I had had access to this program while teaching art history courses on the ancient world! Rome Reborn is so informative and easy to operate. I am beginning a career in museum education and outreach and I hope to implement this program in the future as a teaching tool.

I have begun bringing the Rome Reborn VR visors to class to allow students to finally begin to understand what the Roman Forum was like in antiquity. The result has been overwhelming. Students wait patiently for their turn, not really knowing what to expect. When it is their turn, they are truly transported. "Wow!" "Cool!" "Amazing!" "This is so wonderful!" Using the visors is a precious experience, as it is the best thing available to us today to bridge the centuries and bring us as close as possible to ancient Rome.

To date, I have used Rome Reborn in a small Honors section of my architectural history survey. The student response was very positive. The 360 degree panoramas of the major monuments of ancient Rome offered by Rome Reborn clearly helped the students make a “leap” of understanding from the textbook description to visualizing the reconstructed architecture. The ability to “time travel” by toggling between “now” and “then” views is both informative and intriguing, leading the students to appreciate what has been destroyed or lost but also to raise questions in class discussion about how modern scholars go about reconstructing the monuments.

I am professor for Ancient Topography at the University of Florence and every year I regularly give a seminar on the Roman Forum. To give my students a more complete idea of the site at the end of the course I give them a guided tour of the place, but I experimented the possibility of using in advance Flyover Zone's app of the Roman Forum in order to familiarize them with the monumental area and to present the various reconstructions proposed in the last years. The students react with enthusiasm because of the life-like effect and the possibility the app provides to explore the Forum as it really appeared. I do not know of any other VR archaeological reconstruction which is at the same time so historically accurate and so lively and easy to use.
