VR Film - Become a witness to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and Sophie Chotek!
Be at the scene of an event that changed the world. In addition to being side-by-side with Franz and Sophie in the last moments of their lives, you will gain a more detailed insight into the events and turmoil that accelerated the start of World War I. Through interactive storytelling and an overview of the geo-political scene of that time, you will meet the main characters, learn more about their thoughts and emotions, and experience the key moments of that fateful day yourself.
As you ride with Franz and Sophie through the streets of Sarajevo, experience the atmosphere and way of life of that time, and take the opportunity to see what Sarajevo looked like then.
