Discover German UNESCO World Heritage Sites as an immersive experience

The title of World Heritage is awarded by UNESCO to cultural and natural sites around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. By doing so, the initiative has quietly become a force for appreciating and safeguarding the world’s special places

To draw attention to these sites and to promote the unique landmarks in Germany, the Deutsche Welle, Germany´s public international broadcaster, created the “DW World Heritage 360” app. 

The app, which is powered by the VRdirect platform, allows users to discover several German UNESCO World Heritage Sites in an exciting and playful manner in Virtual Reality.

The Aachen Cathedral, the Bauhaus in Dessau and Bamberg´s old town center are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites of a very special kind. The new “DW World Heritage 360” app lets users experience them interactively – by giving them the opportunity to solve some mysteries while they’re discovering.

The innovative setup mixed with a well thought-out storyline and the spectacular 360° content makes for a very unique and impressive experience.
