Web Portal of Delphi
Through a user-friendly navigation and aesthetically pleasing platform, the internet user can find all kinds of information about Delphi, its historical route and the modern operation of the archaeological site and museum.

Interactive Tour of Delphi
Through a large interactive screen installed in the museum of Delphi, visitors can browse the site, view an interactive historical timeline and select monuments or artworks that are presented in 3D accompanied with information about their creation, operation, and their historical phases. Special versions of this application have also been developed for smart mobile devices and the internet.

Online Educational Applications
The Online Educational Applications-Games are for 3 different age groups and include:

3D puzzle of selected exhibits from the museum (Sphinx, Siphnian Frieze) for young children

Virtual representation of excavation

The lost treasure of Delphi, a complex online game for teens and adults with the aim of finding a sculpture through the decryption of oracles, elements and texts.

Digitization and Modeling
For the needs of the applications and the enrichment of their content, 3D models - representations of monuments and exhibits from the museum of Delphi were developed, which were documented with the appropriate metadata through a digital document management application developed as part of the project.
