About the project

“Authentic Ukraine – VR” is a digital initiative that combines the creation of a 360° VR documentary film and an interactive VR tour. Our goal is to preserve Ukrainian cultural heritage while making it accessible, comprehensible, and inspiring for modern audiences — both in Ukraine and around the world.

Preserve

We digitize cultural heritage to ensure it does not disappear over time.

Reveal

We make Ukrainian culture accessible in modern formats — from VR experiences to mobile devices.

Immerse

We provide an opportunity to step inside history and museum spaces without physical presence.

What We Do

VR 360° Film

We are producing a 360° VR documentary film featuring six unique regions of Ukraine: Central Dnipro region and the South, the Ukrainian village of the 1960–70s, Podillia with its windmills, Polissia, Poltavshchyna & Slobozhanshchyna, and the Carpathians.

VR Tour

We are developing an interactive open-air museum VR tour, where each visitor can choose their own route, explore photos and videos, and read historical insights.

Accessibility

We ensure multilingual support (Ukrainian / English) and compatibility across a wide range of devices, including mobile platforms.
