Immersive web tours are a great way to create interactive experiences for your audience, especially when they cannot visit your headquarters. Together with Gedenkstätte Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, we created a virtual excursion educating students about the unjustunder the GDR rule and promoting democratic values.

An immersive virtual experience for remote audiences

In cases where a location-based augmented reality is not feasible due to spatial constraints or distance between the place and the audience, an immersive web tour comes in handy. It is remarkably accessible since they do not require a VR headset or AR glasses. These experiences have low hardware requirements and can be accessed via a personal computer. Gedenkstätte Hohenschönhausen, situated in Berlin, is unique in its history and educational offerings. With this web tour, they are creating digital twins for their offerings and bringing educational value to a greater audience, regardless of location.

Walking in the digital prison

Below is a screen recording of what it looks like in the web tour. Students can use their mouse and keyboard to explore the Stasi prison thoroughly. You can move between cells, visit the garage, and walk along the corridors.

The right content at the right location

The web tour's educational value comes from the rich video and text information. As the students move between the rooms, different content becomes available. Objects such as voice recording gadgets are explained, time witnesses narrate rooms and their purposes, and scanned images of historical documents are shown on the desks.
