The special technology studies were carried out by the company Visual Acuity Ltd. in collaboration with the involved technological departments of the Foundation of the Hellenic World: the Support and Audiovisual Media department and the Virtual Reality department. The company Acuity Ltd. contributed overall to the architectural and functional design of the project.
