By invitation of the Drustvo Prijatelja Dubrovacke Starine (DPDS) / Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities (founded in 1952) as a member of the team of Foundation Starobosanski Dubrovnik I presented VR Prototype for Cultural Heritage as part of a public program at Lazareti – Design & Creative Hub of Dubrovnik.

This session bridged creative practice and scholarship, making complex cultural heritage material accessible through thoughtfully designed media forms and active public engagement. The prototype offered visitors an immersive way to experience historical narratives, merging research with experiential storytelling in a civic setting.

The work centered on developing rigorous, research-driven pipelines that connected field capture, modeling, and narrative assembly with modes of dissemination. By structuring audience pathways around onboarding, experience, and reflection, the project ensured that its impact extended well beyond the event itself, feeding into curriculum development, student capstone projects, and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Engaging with peer and community reviewers highlighted the relevance of the work in both academic and cultural contexts. Partnerships with museums, festivals, and universities further expanded equitable public access, demonstrating how research outputs can live dynamically in both pedagogical and public spaces.
