Statement
The sensor-based platform, which is operated through body balance is based on the idea of the magic carpet. Through shifting the balance point of the body the user navigates through virtual space either from a pedestrian’s or a bird’s eye view. Thus, the archaeologists in Xanten received new insight for the reconstruction of the Roman colony (500 BC).
