Description:
First Day is a single-user, interactive, immersive project that places users directly in the immediate wartime situation, allowing them to experience firsthand the impacts of terror and disorientation as the war erupted. But not only. It challenges users to learn how to control themselves and make split-second decisions that can help save lives. Users relive how people quickly learned to survive, resist and build resilience in an unjust attack.
First Day is a journey where community, help, and empathy are primary elements to breathe and survive. Our immersive and interactive experience seeks to help others navigate crises by showing how choosing to transform inwardly from victim to helper can empower resistance and life.

Description:
Every day, stories about the battles for Gostomel, the evacuation under shelling from Irpin, or the massacre in Bucha remind us of a terrible dream that we want to forget. However, this is the reality we live in and must remember.
Russia's war against Ukraine began back in 2014 with the occupation of Crimea and parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. On February 24, 2022, Russian troops launched a full-scale offensive. It is currently impossible to calculate the exact number of civilian casualties.
More than 10 million Ukrainians have left their homes. Not all of them now have a place to return to.
This project shows what Ukrainian cities look like after the Russian attack: after liberation from occupation, as a result of shelling and air strikes. How cozy streets are filled with destroyed buildings, burned equipment, and burials of the dead.

Сonsist of 4 stories of real people from Borodyanka, who are witnesses of the occupation.
Also, the video shows the city of Borodyanka before the occupation and after as well shootings in "invisible drone" style.
The virtual locations of Borodyanka at the time of an occupation that I reconstruct virtually using 3d scans of real war artifacts and locations.
Aso:
1. For virtual locations of war, it was 3d scanned war artifacts and locations of a city. The viewer can go inside ruined buildings and see them above with an "invisible drone" view.
2. Part of the project is an XR exhibition in a mobile app with 15 moments of occupation of the Borodyanka with 360 portals to Borodyanka, augmented reality 3d models of war artifacts, and witness evidence.
3. For a social online engagement, there is one unique world of Borodyanka built-in VRCHAT where visitors at the time of a presentation event (or a festival) can go "inside remembrance" and can meet the witness of occupation at the live event.
