Project BorderZone

Border Zone is an XR game app that takes visitors to Potsdam’s Park Babelsberg on a unique journey through the park’s multifaceted history at the time of German-German division. Using location-based XR technology, the project fuses past and present into a touching experience that brings lost or hidden traces of contemporary history back to life. In particular, the Border Zone project aims to bring visitors to Park Babelsberg closer to the actions of citizens of the GDR, which are often difficult to comprehend from today’s perspective, by means of a life-size AR on-site experience, thus providing a deeper understanding of life in a totalitarian system.
