MAGIC’s Berlin Wall VR Simulation project is an educational, game-like simulation available by using the “Window Through the Wall” app and triggered by an actual piece of the Berlin Wall located outside Building 1 at MDC’s Wolfson Campus. Simply open the app and hold the device up to the piece of wall to enter post-World War II Berlin and view the story of the wall from the beginning, on Aug. 13, 1961, when the Communist government of East Germany began to build the oppressive barbed wire and concrete barrier between East and West Berlin. The app continues the story through the fall of the wall in 1989. The simulation is navigated through checkpoints in a manner similar to street view in Google Maps, where a user clicks on a spot and the point of view shifts to that place.
