Ancient Olympia going digital

Ancient Olympia to be showcased via digital application as part of new project

The Archaeological Council of Greece have approved a project to show the home of the ancient Olympic Games in a computerised digital application.

Organisers of the project say they hope "it will give visitors to the archaeological site of Olympia and the Museum of Ancient Olympia the possibility of viewing three-dimensional representations of monuments, as they are estimated to have existed in antiquity based on scientific research."

The development of the app will be carried out in conjunction with the Microsoft Corporation whose President Brad Smith agreed the deal after touring the ancient site during a visit to Greece.

A special committee has already been established to carry out the project.

There are also plans to post a similar virtual tour, which will be made available online.
