Abstract
Virtual reality creates interactive audio-visual environments designed for
multiple users. Virtual reality stems from industrial and military visual simulation,
developed in the late 1980s, when it was applied to training simulations and supporting fast
prototypes for industrial production. This paper explores the different methods of mixed
reality, augmented reality and virtual reality, through examples of palaces in the urban core
of Skopje and worldwide examples. Through the simulation methods that the mixed reality
offers, the user is introduced into the simulation itself allowing for real interaction. The
purpose of this paper is to emphasize the possibilities of virtual reality and its use as a
medium for knowledge transfer and dissemination of cultural memory. Virtual legacy
includes a range of functions facilitating synthesis, conservation, reproduction, digital
processing and display of cultural evidence using advanced VR technologies. Digitization of
Skopje's cultural heritage buildings from the early 20th century presents a digital method of
reviving "captured" data and their interactive presentation.
The focus of this paper is on architectural residential buildings, whose projects as
part of Skopje's cultural heritage were created in the first half of the 20th century, objects
that no longer exist due to the 1963 earthquake, and the revival of memory for them through
various forms of digitalisation as virtual promotion.
