In June 2022, after visiting Normandy for the first time, I began to think about creating a Virtual Reality Museum about it. This idea matured over several months, and finally, in December 2022, I started developing the first bits for it.
I visited Normandy two more times in 2024 to create 3D scans and 360° imagery, aiming to make the museum as realistic as possible.
I made several (costly) mistakes, but learned more in those 2 years than in the 5 before. It was a wild ride with lots of ups and downs, and I was several times on the verge of giving up, not knowing if anybody had any interest in this kind of project. But I had put too much effort into it to let it down. So, here we are now.
I hope you all enjoy the museum and are excited about what’s coming next year. Until then, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
