Interactive panorama Rotterdam

When you think of Rotterdam the Netherlands and the Second World War, you think of the German terror bombing of 14 May 1940. On that date the truce of the indomitable Dutch Marines was broken, and the Netherlands capitulated quickly.

Archive images and current locations

The interactive city viewer shows the visitor the photos from the past in recognizable places of the present. Sporadically, locations can be found that look back on Rotterdam shortly after the battle of the marines and the bombardment of 1940. This modern city viewer tells the story of Rotterdam and the May days of 1940 in combination with the streets of today.

A wonderfull adventure

This special experience has been created in collaboration with various specialists in the field of archival research and mariners history, concept developers, metal workers, welders, electronics specialists, design, photograpers, engineering, 3D designers, 3D printers, programmers, UX specialists, animators, financiers, employees of the Marine Museum, stage builders, graphic designers and so on.

For this special project, numerous 360 degree images have been brought together in a digital city viewer. A team of specialists worked on it for 6 months. Not only the hardware of the steel city viewer itself, but also all integrated electronic and digital equipment and composite archive images contribute to a new experience of Rotterdam today.
