Visitors enjoyed displays featuring over 200 reenactors, vintage military vehicles, orchestra performances, and heavy military equipment. The event also included lectures, demonstrations by uniformed services, and a variety of food stands to enhance the experience.
Presentation of New Technology Division Projects
The New Technology Division of IPN showcased its educational initiatives using mobile crates designed for immersive historical learning. These crates offered guests a hands-on way to explore Polish history, earning praise from both younger and older attendees.
The educational game “Aviators – War in the Skies” was particularly popular, providing an engaging narrative about Polish pilots during World War II. This interactive experience blended captivating gameplay with historical education, making it a standout attraction.
During the event, technical issues with network connectivity initially affected the performance of the VR kits included in the mobile crates. Despite this, the projects were successfully presented in desktop format. Organizers quickly resolved the issues, ultimately showcasing all projects across both PC and VR platforms.

It’s worth noting that all games and applications created by the New Technology Division of IPN are available for free download on Steam. These projects can be explored not only during events featuring the Institute of National Remembrance but also from the comfort of home or school.
