80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge

December 13, 1944 marked the beginning of the last offensive the N***s had launched in the Ardennes, the area around Luxembourg. One of the strategically important cities was Bastogne, reinforced by the 101st Airborne. The orders were to hold the city at all cost against the N***s. The story has been dramatized in the HBO series "Band of Brothers". KonceptVR (Dir. Uli Futschik) created the 'Siege of Bastogne' 360 WW2 documentary in collaboration with Tim Gray of the .

The City of Bastogne has opened a new museum inside the old army barracks, and Air-V has also set up a VR theater where visitors can view the 360 documentary.

The Air-V exhibit is open Wed to Sun, from 14:00-20:00. Rue de La-Roche 38b, B-6600 Bastogne

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to attend Vimeo’s REFRAME event in NYC, and wow!
Inspiring speakers and glimpses into Vimeo’s upcoming tech to support creators and teams such as live video translation using the speaker’s own voice, the future of video, workflows and, of course, AI’s role in all of this! We also had the pleasure to soak up some wisdom from one of the most successful entrepreneurs and founder of one of the most iconic multi-channel media companies in the world, Martha Stewart.
One of the highlights for us was the announcement of Vimeo’s app for the Apple Vision Pro with spatial and immersive features! Great news for anyone working in this space.
Of course, being in the midst of Vimeo’s executives and decision makers, we took the opportunity to advocate for the needs of immersive creators and our clients directly.

This week is the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
In the early morning hours of June 6th, 1944, Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, the largest amphibian landing in history. Thousands of young men fought hard to establish beachheads from where the liberation of France and ultimately Europe began.
In our VR documentary, Omaha Beach, you can listen to three WWII veterans talking about what they went through that day. For them "It was always yesterday."
This D-Day documentary was our first film and collaboration for the World War II Foundation, led by Tim Gray, who has produced more than 30 documentaries on the topic. Their mission is to keep history alive, following the stories of veterans and what they experienced during the war. 360/VR allows the WW2 Foundation to expand into new media.

Three veterans share their personal stories from D-Day when they were young, inexperienced soldiers and sailors heading for Omaha Beach. Follow the stories of Hal Baumgarten, Richard Fazzio and Don McCarthy. The young, inexperienced soldiers and sailors were part of

UPDATE 2: The final Delta IV Heavy rocket launched yesterday (4/9) at 12:53pm EDT from Cape Canaveral. You can relive yesterday's launch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTh7dhCYZFE and then enjoy a previous launch in 360 at the link below.

UPDATE 1: The launch was scrubbed on Thursday due to gaseous nitrogen pipeline pump failure. No new date was announced but there is a possible launch window on April 8th, the day of the total solar eclipse in North America. We'll keep you updated!

Today marks the 45th and last flight of the Delta IV rocket. The launch is scheduled for 1:40 PM EDT from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. While you might not be able to watch the last launch, we captured a Delta 4 Heavy launch in 2016 and it's spectacular to see one of the most powerful rockets liftoff in 360.
