It’s been four days since the second weekend of Coachella 2014 came to a close, and despite any criticisms of an increasingly mainstream direction and obnoxiously inattentive and aggressive crowds, Coachella was a blast. Thus, our collective emotional response at this point is as desperate as Jack Shephard’s. Sadly, we cannot go back just yet… or can we? Sure, we can scroll through our favorite Instagrams and Facebook photos, but why stop there?

Out of nowhere, a site called VRation.com launched today with a 3D recreation of the Coachella grounds. Based on the Unity Web Player game engine, VRation sports FPS-like controls. While they don’t allow for digital revenge on the annoying Steve Buscemi sign guy or the shirtless bro that knocked you into your crab fries (yet?), they do enable the user to stroll through a digital approximation of the Empire Polo Fields and upload their photos by dropping them where they were taken. Yes, even the giant floating spaceman is there.



According to the “boring instructional stuff”, the idea behind VRation is communal photo sharing. Watched Lorde with your bestie from the portapotties a mile away? Your friend can add their photos to the album you created (represented by spinning, clickable 3D cube). It’s the closest we will come to reliving Coachella until next April.
