Virtual 3D Tour of Anne Frank House ‘Secret Annex’ in Amsterdam
As part of the official 50th anniversary of the Anne Frank House, LBi Lost Boys and Anne Frank House have developed a 3D version of the house at Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam where Anne and her family lived in hiding for two years during the Second World War. The Secret Annex Online is part of the new Anne Frank website, and allows visitors to explore the front of the house and the secret annex as it was then, and hear stories that explain in greater depth what happened there.
The museum in Amsterdam is not furnished as the secret annex was cleared of its contents after those in hiding were arrested. After the war, it was Otto Frank’s wish that the rooms should remain empty. The online hiding place allows visitors to see and learn more about various objects not on view. The virtual rooms were furnished using reference photographs that were taken in 1999 when the front part of the house and the secret annex were temporarily re-furnished.
The microsite is full of richly descriptive video clips, telling the story of Anne Frank through diary excerpts and archived witness reports. The English voice-overs are by Tamsin Greig and Ellie Kendrick, both of whom were involved in the 2009 BBC series “The Diary of Anne Frank”. Atmospheric music was kindly provided by Mark Isham, the American Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composer perhaps best known for his work on ‘Crash’ and ‘A River Runs Through It’.
To spread the story of Anne Frank through social media channels, there is also a Facebook application. Selected quotes from Anne’s diary can be posted to your profile weekly or monthly, spreading her words of inspiration.
The Secret Annex Online is Web Pick of the Week on Commarts, and was Site of the Day on FWA (Favourite Website Awards). More info can be found via the press release on RealWire.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but
I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look
great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.
Thanks

Whether you ping pong expert want to be good in this game,
a celluloid ball was introduced tothe game. That is why beginners should
use paddles with little rubber so that the spin does not affect them
as much. The ball is held in the flattened palm of the hand.

What i don’t realize is in fact how you are not actually much more smartly-preferred than you may
be now. You’re very intelligent. You know thus significantly on the subject of this subject,
produced me individually believe it from a lot of numerous angles.
Its like women and men don’t seem to be involved until
it is one thing to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great.
At all times maintain it up!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems aas though you relied on the
video to make your point. You obviousloy know what youre talking
about, why waste your intelligence on just posting
videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative
to read?

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hey there! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.
I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem.
If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!

Is the crowd still composed of decision makers. To my mind there is nothing simpler
or spontaneous than arranging fresh flowers in a vase.
This is because of a number of elements which feature strongly in these LED signs.

Will the doctor performing blind dissection be able
to adequately account for this variability in the average patient and will he risk operating
on an unwary patient in whom these differences might be
profound. Eventually this can cause hair thinning or patches of bald spots.
Any cosmetic plastic procedure could be a worthwhile and extraordinary experience for both
the patient and surgeon, if this is done in the light of surgical standards in term of safety.
