Exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

11 June 2024 — Present<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step into the world of James Joyce’s masterpiece like never before with cutting-edge virtual reality technology. Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Dublin as you follow in the footsteps of Leopold Bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modality of the Visible: Ulysses VR<\/strong> is an immersive VR project that takes you on a journey through the Dublin of 1904 so beautifully described in Joyce’s novel. The project aims to educate, entertain, and familiarise viewers with Joyce’s text in an interactive and visual way. Using state-of-the-art VR headset technology, you will be able to mount the gunrest of the Martello Tower, walk along Eccles Street, hang around the gentlemen at Barney Kiernan’s, and explore other settings of Ulysses<\/em>. The purpose of this project is to merge the world of literature with an increasingly technological world. With an experimental design approach, Ulysses VR offers a novel understanding of Joyce’s writing, creating a unique learning experience in an immersive virtual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition will be on permanent display at the James Joyce Centre. The project was developed by Thanos Makris in collaboration with the Department of Philology at the University of Patras in Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
