Jerusalem thrills tourists

Flashes of History in Jerusalem: Outdoor Display Traces City's Past
-Linda Gradstein

A new outdoor sound and light show called "The Night Spectacular" at the Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem's Old City offers a virtual-reality experience that shouldn't be missed. Most of the 45-minute show is vignettes from different time periods presented with blazing colors and dramatic soundtracks.

There's no screen and no need for one. The dramatic computer-generated scenes from 20 projectors cover the Old City's walls, towers and turrets, surrounding you with images that can make you gasp.
