Aftermath VR: Euromaidan
Aftermath VR: Euromaidan is an immersive documentary project about Euromaidan revolution in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The street where the bloodshed happened on February 20, 2014, is reconstructed via photogrammetry and CGI. The viewers of the experience have a possibility to repeat the path of the protesters that were reclaiming the street from the police forces. The story is a chronicle of that day with a strong emphasis on archival footage. Memories of the people who were there are captured as 360° video interviews recorded in places they were that tragic morning.
