Title

Reconstructing the Rose: 3D Computer Modelling Philip Henslowe's Playhouse

Description

An interactive model of Philip Henslowe's playhouse, the Rose, and its surroundings. It digitally revives the building (where the early works of Marlowe, Shakespeare, and more were performed) so people can see what it was like in the sixteenth century.

Requires

You need a browser, such as Safari or Chrome. For the site's videos, you need working audio, as there are no closed captions.

Alternatives

A site called Ortelia offers a 3D reconstruction of the Rose, but it's not as detailed or informative.

Get Started

You don't need prior knowledge to view and interact with the project.
The reference section defines terms used. People have all the tools they need on one site.

Accessibility

Font colors present issues for visually impaired users, like light grey text on top of a white background.
A video walks through the 3D model, but lacks closed captioning. People with auditory impairments may find this a problem.
English is the only language offered.

Language

This project is written and presented in English.
