The room (PL-111)
This virtual reality experience is a completely non-political tour and view of daily life activities in Palestine-both before and since the conflict with Israel. The footage and
videos that were captured in Gaza are organized around 11 themes: historical places, traditional activities, shops and cafes, fun activities, agriculture, popular squares and places, popular markets, industry, schools and universities, hotels, and resorts. Most of the footage was captured by a recent CSUSB master's student.
