This 3D simulation introduces you to the experiences of gas warfare in the trenches through interviews with veterans, contemporary photographs, and poetry. You will need to download the free Unity3D Web Player to experience the simulation. It will run in your browser.
To navigate the simulation you will need a mouse. Use the mouse to point in the direction you wish to look and the cursor keys on your keyboard to move around.
Attributions
The resources used in the simulation are listed below. We do intend on embedding these attributions into the model, we’d welcome any further ideas you have on how to do this effectively.
