The archaeological site of Pompeii has been entirely recreated, offering exploration of the Villa dei Misteri, the Imperial Villa, Amphitheatre, Arch of Drusus, Suburban Baths, Temple of Venus, Porta Marina, piazza del Foro, surrounded by some of the most important buildings in the city: the basilica, the Macellum, Mensa Ponderaria, the Building di Eumachia. And also the Temples of Apollo, Jupiter, Vespasian and the Sanctuary of the Public Lares. The Sanctuary of the Public Lares is incomplete: as the information slide in the game recalls, the entrance colonnade had not yet been finished at the time of the eruption. When the points of interest highlighted on the map are activated, they call up written or audio descriptions that elaborate on the history and details of the selected location.

Application that uses virtual reality to offer an exploration experience of the city of Pompeii, digitally created and brought back to its ancient splendour with 3D graphics. The area can be explored both traditionally, with a visor and a touch joystick to go back and forth, or using augmented reality: the application works when geolocalization, in specific points of interest, activates audio commentary on the user’s location. This way, Back to Pompei becomes not only a fascinating tool for exploration and reconstruction but also an valid virtual alternative to the classic audio guide.
