SCIENTISTS CREATE VIRTUAL REALITY TOUR OF RUINED CHURCH

As workers in Dresden, Germany, lay the first stones to rebuild a Baroque church destroyed in World War II, computer scientists here are creating a 3-D version of what the finished project will look like.

Using a virtual reality headset, viewers can see the blue doors of the church open to a view of the ornate ivory-and-gold altar and the organ that Johann Sebastian Bach played in 1736.
