Peek into Noah's ark with Singapore app

Singaporean film-maker Pearry Teo, who has been making horror films in the United States, has created an app that offers a 360-degree view of The Ark Of Noah, the full-size replica of the biblical Noah's Ark docked in the Netherlands.

Thousands of visitors have seen the actual site built by carpenter Johan Huibers since its completion in 2013, but mobile phone and VR (virtual reality) headset users anywhere in the world can now get an immersive peek at the insides of the Ark using Teo's app called Bible VR. The app is available on the Google Play store and is coming soon to iOS. For details, go to arkofnoah.org/vr
