The project developed Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented reality (AR) applications, including a mobile application[8] and a virtual map,[9] enabling virtual exploration of Adriatic underwater sites.[10] Three Wrecks4All VR showrooms were established in Split (Croatia),[11] Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina),[12] and Kotor (Montenegro),[13] providing public access to underwater sites through VR technology.[14][15]
Capacity building sessions were conducted for 60 individuals in participating countries on destination management and tourism promotion of underwater cultural heritage.
