Interactive panoramic tour

Interactive panoramic tour (QTVR) of the exhibition that has been presented at the Cultural Centre “Hellenic Cosmos” since 2006. The exhibition demonstrates the multidimensional character of the Agora, which constituted a place where new ideas were born, new philosophical schools emerged, where intellectual and spiritual life flourished and artistic creation thrived. Visitors can view all the exhibits of the exhibition, printed, natural-haptic, digital-audiovisual and interactive ones, with full functionality.

Virtual reality video (VR)

Virtual reality video at the site of the Ancient Agora, where the user has the opportunity to travel back through time and find himself in the Classical Period (approximately in 400 BC), with the help of a Panathenaic amphora. In the Classical Athens emphasis is given to the importance of public administrative buildings and the existence of an outdoors area for gatherings and athletic activities. This tour is a high definition extract from the production “Interactive Tour at the Ancient Agora”, which is shown at “Tholos” of Hellenic Cosmos.

Educational game

An educational game with the objective to “complete” the site of the Agora in the Roman Period. Our little friends can read information about the most important buildings of the Agora and play entertaining and educational games (anagrammatism, puzzle, questions and answers etc), in order to make all the buildings of the Agora during its heyday appear one after the other... on its present-day ground plan!
