Titanic: VR Immersive Experience – London

A virtual reality experience retracing the story of the Titanic, presented as an immersive experience in London. It draws on film reels shot by the ship's official filmmaker and on reconstructions of parts of the vessel.

The experience takes visitors through the story of the Titanic using virtual reality. Among the material on show are film reels made by William Harbeck, the ship's official filmmaker, which give a first-hand view of the vessel. Visitors can also explore detailed reconstructions, including the Grand Staircase, placed in the context of the ship's first and final voyage.

The programme focuses on the human side of the story, with accounts of the hopes, ambitions and losses of those who sailed on the liner. Rather than a conventional display of objects, the visit is built around moving through reconstructed spaces and hearing these personal stories.

The format suits visitors interested in maritime history and in the Titanic in particular, as well as those curious about how virtual reality can recreate a historical setting. It is an immersive experience rather than a gallery visit, and it is organised around the reconstructions and the archive footage.
