Miracle of technology: story of Jesus to be released in virtual reality

Viewers can feel like they were sitting on the hillside during the Sermon on the Mount or right beside the crypt during the resurrection in VR re-enactment

First came the scriptures; then the altarpieces. After that, stained glass windows and engravings of the Stations of the Cross. Last century brought biblical epics like Spartacus. Now believers will be able to experience the life of Jesus as if they were there themselves, thanks to advances in virtual reality technology.

Autumn Productions and VRWERX are set to release Jesus VR - The Story of Christ, a 90-minute virtual reality re-enactment of the New Testament, which includes Jesus's birth and death by crucifixion, along with key moments like the Sermon on the Mount.
