The Plague That Shaped History – Discover the Bubonic Outbreak!

The most infamous face of the Black Death.
Swollen buboes. Fever. Pain that spread as fast as the disease itself.

Most victims never stood a chance.

In Black Death Interactive, history isn’t just told—it’s lived.

The Black Death wasn’t just a mystery—it had a name.
A bacterium, Yersinia pestis, swept across Asia, Europe, and North Africa in the 14th century, leaving as many as 200 million dead in its wake.

Three faces of plague.
Three ways to die.
Bubonic. Pneumonic. Septicaemic.

In Black Death Interactive, history comes alive—not as dates and facts, but as choices, voices, and lives caught in the storm.

The plague was more than disease—it was disruption.

In 1348, Venice faced the deadliest pandemic in history. Fear ruled the streets. Faith was tested. Families were torn apart.

Black Death Interactive reveals not just the facts, but the lived experience of humanity in crisis.

When the city is crumbling, what will you choose?

When students step into the sandals of a young physician navigating plague-ravaged ancient Athens through VR, 92% want more such experiences and 75% report emotional connections to historical figures they'd never heard of before—transforming abstract history into visceral personal memory.

Plague of Athens VR's "presence as pedagogy" approach combines consequential ethical dilemmas with embodied learning that sparks genuine classroom debates about Hippocratic ethics and pandemic response, proving that educational VR succeeds when it makes students feel present in historical moments rather than memorizing facts and dates.

Research shows it works:
✔️ Students who felt present retained more historical detail.
✔️ 80% became more curious about medical history.
✔️ 92% wanted more VR-based history lessons.

Used across schools internationally, this project proves that meaningful choices and emotional immersion make history unforgettable.

Now available on Meta Quest, Steam, and Pico platforms.

We built Plague of Athens VR so learners could experience history from the inside out. You stand in 429 BCE as Nikos, a young physician, making difficult choices in a city under siege, and then you step into a “Magic Museum” to connect what you felt to the evidence that explains it. That sequence (presence, decision, reflection) turns context into memory.

Educators are using the project for history, ethics, and science modules because it invites serious discussion: Who gets care when resources are scarce? What does disclosure do to public order? How do we balance duty and belief? The goal isn’t to “win; it’s to practice judgment and understand consequences.

It’s available on Meta Quest, Steam VR, and Pico, and it’s designed to be classroom-friendly: short scenes, clear choices, and easy prompts to keep the conversation going after the headset comes off.

Every immersive lesson I create stands on three pillars: Story, Agency, and Empathy.

1. Story gives learners a narrative path to follow.
2. Agency empowers them to make meaningful choices.
3. Empathy transforms information into understanding that sticks long after the screen fades.

If you design with these pillars in mind, content shifts from passive to powerful. That’s the foundation of every project I develop.
