All-round Athens
Usually we’ll be found spinning-out 360s in and around the London area, but just occasionally we get let loose in some amazing international destinations. On this occasion EC2XR founder Tony Pincham was busy capturing all-round vistas of the Greek capital.
The historic temple looming over Athens is the Parthenon (sometimes confused with the Acropolis, the hill on which the structure stands). Socrates, Plato and Aristotle would have been visitors, more than 2000 years ago. Although the ancient Greeks were smart people, they hadn’t figured out cameras, let alone 3D ones. If they had, it would have been largely pointless as we’re pretty sure there was no video editing software available at the time.
They really did know how to build a temple though and, incidentally, are also credited with developing the first central heating systems, the catapult and the alarm clock. So although they couldn’t produce 360 virtual tours around 300BC, they kept warm and woke up on time in the mornings.
