Sustainable Tourism:
The sustainable tourism game project is a groundbreaking initiative that aims to promote eco-friendly tourism practices in Greece π¬π· , while fostering collaboration between Greece π¬π·Β and German university π©πͺ Hochschule Darmstadt . This long-term project brings together the expertise and resources of both countries to create an immersive gaming experience centered around sustainable travel and exploration of Greeceβs natural beauty. Players will embark on virtual journeys across Greece, encountering various challenges and opportunities to make sustainable choices, such as reducing carbon footprint, supporting local communities, and preserving cultural heritage. Through interactive gameplay, educational content, and real-life case studies, the game will inspire players to adopt sustainable behaviors both in the virtual world and in their future travels.
Erasmus Scholarship Initiative:
collaborate with three universities, through the Erasmus scholarship. Led by h_da guidance we embark on a one-of-a-kind cultural encounter.
Revolutionizing Sustainable Tourism: The Guardians of Naxos Game | Part 1
This is part 1 of our concept trailer for The Guardians of Naxos Game. After one year of research and with the support of Naxian communities, we honed in on a solution that we believe has the potential of bootstrapping and supporting sustainable tourism on Naxos and the Cyclades. Combining Augmented Reality, AI-supported conversational agents and Blockchain technologies, our media architecture drives micro donations through a location-based game, generating new capital for protective measures and sustainable tourism initiatives.
