Moscow projects win the XI All-Russian Tourism Prize “Route of the Year”. The following were awarded in various nominations: the exhibition “Digital Technologies of Moscow: for the 30th Anniversary of Runet” in the “Smart City” pavilion at VDNKh, the AR quest “Conquering Space” and the interactive route “Architectural Secrets of the Past: Augmented Reality Journey” in the “Discover Moscow” application, the Mostourism project “Moscow Vladimir Region. Journey to a Russian Fairy Tale”, as well as a gamified tour of “MetaVDNKh” with Vanya Dmitrienko.
More than 450 applications from 62 regions of Russia were submitted to participate in this year’s award.
“All the Moscow projects nominated this year were developed for city residents who not only love to travel, walk around the capital and learn something new, but also actively use modern technologies for this. Routes, excursions and quests with augmented reality allow you to immerse yourself in the history of familiar places and get a completely new experience of interacting with space. And thanks to the unique exhibition dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Runet, you can learn how technologies and IT solutions have been created and developed in the capital since 1994,” the press service noted.
Department of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.
In the nomination “Best online route in the city”, the grand prix of the award was given to a unique educational tour of “MetaVDNKh” using game mechanics. The VDNKh metaverse is an exact virtual copy of the main exhibition of the country, created on the basis of a 3D model from a digital twin of Moscow, to which the smallest details of buildings and interiors were added using gaming industry technologies. In the year of the 85th anniversary of VDNKh, all RuNet users were given the opportunity to walk through the metaverse of the exhibition. Tour participants can, without leaving home, take an interactive journey through time and learn the history of the development of the nuclear industry, the conquest of space and film production technologies, and thanks to the interactive format, take a new look at the familiar and familiar pavilions of VDNKh.
The Grand Prix in the nomination “Best modern digital technologies in tourism” was awarded to the exposition “Digital Technologies of Moscow: for the 30th Anniversary of Runet” in the Smart City pavilion at VDNKh. The first place in the same nomination went to the AR quest Conquering Space, a project developed by the capital’s Department of Information Technology together with the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics and available in the online guide Discover Moscow.
The exhibition for the 30th anniversary of the Runet in the Smart City pavilion at VDNKh is dedicated to the history of Moscow’s digitalization. Today, Moscow is one of the smartest megacities in the world, a city where technology helps people every day. Many Muscovites can no longer imagine their lives without convenient services, gadgets, and an intelligent urban environment. However, just 30 years ago, there was no mobile Internet, no smartphones, no electronic services in Moscow. The exhibition features more than 30 interactive exhibits that tell how digital solutions have been created and developed in the capital over three decades, and how familiar areas of urban life have changed along with them. Since its opening, the exhibition has already been visited by more than 100,000 people.
The AR quest “Conquering Space” in the mobile application of the online guide “Discover Moscow” is the first interactive route through the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics. It allows you to learn more about space and look at legendary rockets, satellites and devices in augmented reality. Thanks to the presented 3D models of space technology samples, users can imagine themselves, for example, witnessing the launch of the Vostok launch vehicle or see how the docking unit created for the Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft works.
The second place in two nominations at once – “Best Interregional Route” and “Best Tourist Guide” – was awarded to the project Mosturism “Moscow Vladimir Region. Journey into a Russian Fairytale”. It offers travelers a unique opportunity to explore the wealth of both tangible and intangible cultural heritage, linking two ancient principalities – Vladimir and Moscow. Participants can immerse themselves in an atmosphere full of amazing stories and traditions, as well as get to know local attractions and take part in exciting master classes.
The Moscow Vladimir Region project is being implemented within the framework of the “Improving the Availability of Tourist Services” initiative of the national project “Tourism and Hospitality Industry” with the aim of popularizing short interregional trips. More information about the national projects being implemented in Moscow can be found find out here.
In the special nomination “Best City Tour” for an innovative approach to creating a mass city tour, the route “Architectural Secrets of the Past: Augmented Reality Journey” in the “Discover Moscow” application was noted. It allows you to study in detail the iconic monuments of the past and architectural objects of the present using augmented reality technology. Participants of the walk rediscover Moscow of the 18th-19th centuries, plunging into the era of two centuries ago. At the same time, you can examine three-dimensional models of lost historical architectural monuments, for example Sukharev tower AndRed Gate, and also imagine how the capital has changed over the years.
