I've been meaning to do this video for a number of years, mainly because I found the whole BBC Domesday Project so utterly fascinating in the 80s.

But the thing which really stunned me, was the ability to walk abound various UK towns in the 1980s using this equipment, just like you can with Google Street View.

Join me in exploring this incredible 1980s technology.

The Domesday Project | Nostalgia Nerd

The Domesday Project was a collaboration between the BBC, Acorn Computers, Philips and Logica to create a digital and updated version of the 1086 Domesday book. This digital version would use the latest in cutting edge interactive video and be held on the latest LaserDisc technology. Aided by schools across the country, in a huge national collaboration project, this would be an enormous project spanning 2 years and collecting a huge range of data from the UK. Alongside this data were photos, stories and even the ability to walk around several UK towns. Just like Google Earth or Streetview in the 1980s. You can actually experience real 1980s street footage, which you control. If you want a window into the 80s, then this is the multimedia machine to use. All this is the exciting 80s I remember. Packed with emerging technology and exciting projects, and its one reason I love it.

As a child of the 80s I also was fascinated by the Doors Day Project. Top video sir

Holy crap! I had NO idea this was a thing, or even possible! If I'd have seen stuff like this running on the BBCs at our school my mind would have been blown. I was staggered by CD-Rom based encyclopaedias circa 94-95 ish but in many ways this is more impressive and comprehensive, ten years earlier! And using the teletext data possibility on an analogue format? Genius. Also, as a proud Welshman, that was a real trip to see Brecon in the 80s - awesome that you compared it with Google maps and so cool the sports shop is still going strong! That was weirdly moving. Just, wow. I really hope this gets properly archived and we get a full emulator so that we can explore this in an accurate fashion soon. I'd pay good money to the BBC for a copy.
