The public can transport themselves to the tunnel through Samsung's Gear VR , which is already available in the Chapultepec Museum and in the Teotihuacán site.
During this virtual tour that lasts a few minutes, the public will have the opportunity to see a representative selection of those vestiges , said Sergio Gómez, archeologist and director of the excavation site .“We show the most representative selection, but I think people will have an experience, a good approach to what was the excavation and the discoveries”, he said during the presentation.

He pointed out that the project is part of the Digital Agenda developed by the Culture Secretariat.
