The fashion of virtual visits to sites of interest (or artistic) extends. If you knew some entries can make a virtual visit to the Casa Museo de Ana Frank, now is the turn (no less) than the Sistine Chapel.
The Sistine Chapel is one of the treasures of the Vatican City, a stay in the visit to the Vatican Museums (see schedule) that allows us to appreciate one of the masterpieces painted by Michelangelo in the form of mural, on the walls and roof of the enclosure. For those who can not travel to the Vatican for the visit, the site offers more than interesting alternatives: a virtual tour.
After two years of work and several days of photographic survey carried out within the premises jointly between the Vatican and the University of Villanova, in the Vatican website can make a virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel, appreciating many of the details paints. Just move our mouse over the image, we can go 360 degrees around the enclosure, and closer to the wall drawing the benefits of digital. Even for some, the virtual tour may be more beneficial than the display in situ, as we approach the details in a way impossible in the place.
The virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel, was performed by adding the composition of thousands of digital images edited to a three-dimensional panoramic projection. To make the digital record for five nights, the Vatican granted exceptional leave to students and teachers who collected the images. Fortunately, the result is available so we can see from our computer.
