DER TRAUM DES CESARE
Enter the dreamy world of Dr. Caligari
THE DREAMY WORLD OF DR. CALIGARI
“The Dream of Cesare” is a VR-interpretation of the world-famous silent film classic “Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari “by Robert Wiene from 1919. The combination of holograms and a virtual environment allows the viewers to immerse themselves in the three-dimensional space of the film. Being able to move freely in the scene around the actors and admidst the action turns the passive viewing into your own movie experience which can be actively and individually influenced.
