ESSEN 1887 A Mixed Reality journy through time
Experience an absolute world first in Essen, in the heart of the Ruhr area. We take you on a time travel through the city center of Essen. Only before your eyes, thanks to the latest technology, the year 1887 is created. You will see carriages, animals, buildings and people in period costumes and characters acting with you - as realistically as if they were standing in front of you in the flesh. And all this in the middle of Essen's city center. There is currently no other city tour of this kind in the world. You are right in the middle of things without losing sight of your surroundings. With the Nreal Light glasses, here and now mix with virtual reality. Unlike virtual reality glasses, you never lose sight of your surroundings. During the almost two-hour tour of Essen's city center, the virtual world overlays what everyone else sees at certain points. A fascinating experience for technically savvy people.
Meet people from 1887, embodied by well-known actors and celebrities. Wander through historical sceneries. Henning Baum, as the host, guides you through the history of the city and the day of the funeral of the great industrialist Alfred Krupp. Tatjana Clasing, as Wilhelmine Grillo, lets you take part in the founding of the theater of the same name. Star chef Nelson Müller, Alicja Rosinski, the rap duo 257ers or entertainer Harry Wijnvoord also provide surprising moments. Experience food like no one has ever seen before. The latest technical standards meet history, culture and entertainment. The world novelty of the city tours exists in this form only in Essen. The city in the heart of the Ruhr area thus continues its history of great pioneers and will inspire you. Try it out!
