Hemidakota Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Credit: LDSLiving (Desert Books)At 2 o’clock, you’re in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. At 2:01, you’re in Manchester, New York, in the Sacred Grove. A group of Brigham Young University professors have created a way for it to happen, and we’re not talking teleportation. “Hallowed Ground, Sacred Tours” is a collection of text, photos, videos and virtual reality tours posted on an interactive website, virtualtours.byu.edu, that allow anyone with a computer and Internet access to visit dozens of Church history sites without ever boarding a plane, train or bus. The idea for the project was conceived in 2001. Since then, the BYU religious education professors behind the work have been in front of the camera, taping footage of Church history sites in places like Utah, New York and Pennsylvania.

Wingnut Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Sounds like a great alternative for those who don't have the means to visit the sites in person, but the experience of actually being there can't be compared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
