Forbidden City online

A couple of days ago, IBM and Chinese authorities announced the launch of Beyond Space and Time , a virtual three-dimensional model of the imperial palace in Beijing called the Forbidden City.

This is the most extensive palace complex in the world with a total area of ​​720 thousand square meters. m, built in 1406-1420, now you can look at without leaving home. In addition to directly exploring all 9999 rooms of the palace, the “online tourists” will be able to attend the festive dinner of the emperor of the Qing dynasty, practice archery, train fighting crickets, and try on several historical costumes on your avatar.

No one bothers to communicate with other visitors of the Forbidden City either. But to run through the halls is prohibited. This can be a distraction. ;)
