This aim of this project is to use immersive technologies as a method of interconnecting memorial sites and museums across Europe in order to help people learn more about narratives of the Holocaust. Visitors attending one location will be provided with a virtual experience of other educationally related but geographically distant locations, allowing them to deepen their understanding of the Holocaust. The historical narratives associated with particular memorial sites and museums are interlinked and trying to understand them in relation to only one location is therefore very difficult. For instance, victims were commonly transported between various main and satellite camps, requiring visitors to memorial sites and museums to explore beyond their current location in order to follow the full narrative of any particular individual. The similarities and differences between concentration, death, satellite and transit camps also help visitors to understand the complex forces of bureaucracy that were at play during the Third Reich. This project will design and develop a platform that intelligently links the experience of these related locations through immersive technologies, resulting in a valuable educational resource. A prototype knowledge exchange platform that connects memorial sites and museums in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands will initially be developed. However, the project will result in the design of a scalable model, allowing other locations to join the platform at a later stage, generating even greater educational impact as the platform is more widely adopted.

该项目的目的是使用沉浸式技术作为连接欧洲各地纪念遗址和博物馆的方法，以帮助人们更多地了解大屠杀的叙述。参观一个地点的游客将获得其他与教育有关但地理位置遥远的地点的虚拟体验，使他们能够加深对大屠杀的了解。与特定纪念场所和博物馆相关的历史叙述是相互关联的，因此，试图仅从一个地点来理解它们是非常困难的。例如，受害者通常被运送到各个主要营地和附属营地之间，参观纪念场所和博物馆的游客需要探索他们目前所在地以外的地方，以便了解任何特定个人的全部叙述。集中营、死亡营、卫星营和中转营之间的异同也有助于游客了解在第三赖希时期起作用的官僚主义的复杂力量。该项目将设计和开发一个平台，通过沉浸式技术智能地将这些相关地点的体验联系起来，从而产生宝贵的教育资源。最初将开发一个原型知识交流平台，连接德国、比利时和荷兰的纪念场所和博物馆。然而，该项目将导致设计一个可扩展的模型，允许其他地点在稍后阶段加入该平台，随着该平台被更广泛地采用，产生更大的教育影响。
