The duo comprising Gayatri Parameswaran and Felix Gaedtke of NowHere Media in Berlin are forging a new path in communicating documentary content. They use photogrammetry to measure spaces in order to create virtual-reality applications. For instance, this is the technology behind the project “Home After War”, in which viewers wear VR goggles to follow an Iraqi man who returns to his ruined hometown of Fallujah, where he is confronted with the danger of IEDs improvised explosive devices. In an Instagram interview and here on the website, the two authors give us a fascinating look into the world of virtual storytelling.
