An immersive new experience has opened in York, EvDEN EVE NakLiyAt and it's chuffing brilliant.
In case you loved this post and you would love to receive more information concerning Evden evE NakliYat please visit our own page. The Flying Scotsman Virtual Reality (VR) experience at the National Railway Museum celebrates 100 years of the world's most famous locomotive. The digital experience is a 360-degree animated journey that's fun, EVdeN EVe NAkliyaT educational and deliciously detailed, thanks to Lidar (light detection and evdEn EVe naKLiYat ranging) scans of the iconic railway engine.
'We scanned every last bolt,' said Simon Reveley, CEO of , a studio specialising in immersive attractions.
'I came to this knowing very little about Flying Scotsman,' added Reveley at a preview of the experience.
'Now my team are world experts!'
Even before you've wiggled into the virtual reality headset, you've already been transported back in time through a cute projection of period passengers walking past the windowed doors that will soon swing open. In reality, the doors open to a nondescript plywood wall but, with your headset on, you're invited to step forward into the digitally-recreated King's Cross station of 1928, complete with period steam.
Your guide in this virtual world is Sir Nigel Gresley, designer of the Flying Scotsman.

Gresley walks you through the history of the locomotive, from its first PR outing at the Empire Exhibition in Wembley Park in 1924 to its current incarnation as a restored and still working engine.
There's also a model-railway-style glimpse of the locomotive's ill-fated tour of 1960s America, showing how British Rail's Flying Scotsman was markedly different from the 1920s original.
You're also miniaturised to fly through the locomotive's insides, learning about steam power as you progress through the red-hot boiler and the engine's firebox.
Vibrating panels, heat lamps and wind-mimicking fans provide multi-sensory stimulation as you spin gently through the virtual world.
It took the best part of a year for Figment and partner company to bring this world to life.
The most thrilling part of the experience is a faithful recreation of a alongside a speedboat and a de Havilland Puss Moth monoplane.
A pigeon swoops perilously close to your head, and you instinctively lean out of its way. (This speed trial is based on an actual race, captured on a Pathé film, one of the many period PR stunts that LNER arranged to promote its thrusting rail service along the East Coast Main Line.)
