Virtual reality

The virtual reality application is entitled "War and Peace". Through it, the user, using VR masks, is transported to the past of the Holy Monastery of Hosios Loukas, to gain an intense and unique experiential experience. The approach followed is that of narrative immersion, where the user is immersed in the space of the plot of a story, as it happens to the reader of a book or the audience of a film. The experience at hand, "War and Peace", attempts to shed light on selected moments in the long history of the Monastery, historical moments, linked mainly to war events, but also moments of peaceful everyday life, such as those that the Monastery and the surrounding area undoubtedly experienced. The protagonists in this application are the people, their hopes and expectations, their misfortunes and sorrows, their lives, and their relationships with the Holy Monastery of Hosios Loukas and monastic life in general. The monuments, the architecture and the decorative details, or the precious objects form the setting that surrounds them and with which they can interact so that the micro-narratives are activated, and the narrative immersion of the user is enhanced.
