Immersive technology and virtual reality allow us to explore new places, travel through time, and step into imagined worlds—whether from the classroom, workplace, or home. While these innovations feel cutting-edge, the desire to create immersive experiences is nothing new. Renaissance artists mastered the art of illusion, designing spaces that engaged the senses and transported viewers into painted worlds.

Through virtual reality, we'll step inside this spectacular 16th-century frescoed chamber, explore its immersive effects, and discuss how modern technology brings Giulio's vision to life.
