Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) animations, 3D models, 360-degree panoramas and image projections allow them to immerse themselves even deeper into selected exhibition themes. Otto Schott himself plays a central role. He is brought to life by means of augmented reality, appears as a virtual figure and offers visitors a personal tour via audio guide.
