All projects by the New Technology Division will be available on-site, including:
- “Aviators– War in the Skies” – the latest educational adventure game, which debuted on January 24th this year in London at the prestigious Bett London educational technology fair. The production tells the story of the achievements of Polish pilots fighting during World War II. Available on PC and VR.
- “Ciphers Game” – a school reading and the first production by the New Technology Division. The game is set during the Polish-Bolshevik War, and the player’s task is to break enemy codes and disable armored trains. Available on PC and VR.
- “Warsaw Rising” – a strategic game that tells the story of the Warsaw Uprising. The narrative of the fighting Warsaw stays true to historical facts, so the uprising cannot be won. The production allows players to learn history, develop values, and shape civic attitudes. Available on PC.
- “Szybowcowa‘87” – an application created for VR devices, allowing you to enter a PRL-era apartment in Wrocław where underground press was printed. The apartment is faithfully recreated, and additionally, it is interactive. You can easily reproduce pages of print or eavesdrop on conversations between SB officers via radio.
- “Testimony of HELP” – a short film available on VR. It tells the story of the Ulma family, who sheltered Jews during World War II. As a result of a denunciation, the entire family, along with the hidden Jews, was executed. The story is presented from the perspective of six-year-old Basia. It’s a touching narrative.
