Online routes through the RUSSIA EXPO won special prize at the Gravitation Award
The educational project "Online Routes through the International RUSSIA EXPO" has won in the special category of the Gravitation International University Award in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.
The online routes through the International RUSSIA EXPO are an educational project that introduces the achievements of Russia using 360° filming technology and POV videos. The exposition, which was attended by 18.5 million people, showcased the scale of the country, and the project allows users to explore its key expositions through interactive videos and panoramas.
Thanks to the "Online Tours," users can take a virtual 360-degree walk through the pavilions of the RUSSIA EXPO and explore its displays from anywhere in the world. Ten themed routes offer full immersion in the atmosphere of the venue, allowing visitors to explore all the pavilions and study their expositions in detail.
