The goal of the interactive digital exhibition is to take the user on time travel (‘20s, 20th century) and to enable them to “control the batan” for 5 minutes. It also includes learning about star navigation, dialect, singing culture, types of fish, fishing methods, etc. The setup is made of three simultaneous and synchronized projections (floor/ceiling/front wall), that together combine into a unique experience. There are exhibits in the dark on the sides of the space that are illuminated as explained in the video. A valuable experience for Rovinj visitors!
