Virtual reality of Hiroshima attack produced by Japanese students

The five-minute clip captures the moments immediately before, during and after the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima 73 years ago, killing 140,000 people. By transporting users back in time to the moment when a city was turned into a wasteland, the students and their teacher hope to ensure that something similar never happens again. Wearing virtual reality headsets, users can take a walk along the Motoyasu River prior to the blast and see the businesses and buildings that once stood. They can enter the post office and the Shima Hospital courtyard, where the skeletal remains of a building now known as the Atomic Bomb Dome stand on the river's banks, a testament to what happened. The students, who belong to the computation skill research club at Fukuyama Technical High School, were born more than half a century after the bombing.
