Abstract
After more than five years, the BYU Virtual Scripture Group (with tremendous support from the LDS Motion Picture Studios) has released an immersive 3D experience of Jerusalem at the time of Jesus.
The app is available for free download on Macs and PCs at virtualscriptures.org or for mobile devices by searching for “Virtual New Testament” in the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store.
Once you download the app to your device you have a variety of options.
Click on the “City of Jerusalem” button for an overview map of Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. You’ll see a number of pulsating, clickable location icons. The one with the square box hovering over the temple allows you to walk through the temple at the time of Jesus. The remainder of the location icons give you 360-degree gyroscope views of those areas.
