World War I Trenches

Experience what life was like in the First World War trenches. Immerse the classroom in the environment with the sounds of distant gunfire, the occasional biplane overhead and the voices of men in combat. From inside the bunker system, users can interact with many of the objects – radios come to life playing tunes from the era, letters can be read and heard to highlight the social and economic mood of the time, and triggers within the environment simulate a bombardment and sounds of the dawn attack. This is only a sample of the content available.

History helps pupils develop an understanding of events and situations from the past. Discovering the dilemmas, choices, beliefs and traditions of our ancestors can shape our decisions for the future. Rather than simply reading about the events and people that shaped our world, the Gaia 3D Visual Learning Solution provides a virtual environment in which users feel like they are experiencing history first hand.
