Virtual reality, a modern application for phones and a panoramic telescope for observing Krosno and the surrounding area as well as a 3D model of the city of Presov are the main elements of the promotion of partner cities. As part of the project, "virtual reality" stations were created in Krosno, which allow you to move to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. They are located in the Parish Tower, and additionally, a panoramic telescope has been placed at the tower's vantage point. Another attraction is a special application for phones and tablets, which will allow you to see the changes that took place in the Old Town in the past. These changes can also be seen in the special album "Krosno - Presov. Metamorfozy", which shows the changes of the last 150 years. A bronze 3D model of the city was made in Presov.

The main activities carried out under the project:

• Organization of the workshop "Traces of time", a specialized conference "METAMORPHOSES" and preparation of a 3D model of the city of Presov . The aim of the workshop for Slovak and Polish architects and designers was to present the monuments of culture and history of the city of Prešov, and to prepare a project of a 3D model of the city. Then, the "METAMORPHOSES" conference was held, attended by 100 people. It was devoted to the issues of historical changes and modern methods of renovation and renewal of cities and historical monuments. The conference lasted two days. The end result of the task was to create a 3D model of the city, which was placed and officially unveiled in front of the Šariš gallery building on the Main Street in the center of the city of Presov.
• Preparation of the Krosno-Prešov photo album and organization of the exhibition . The album includes a series of photos and archival materials presenting the changes taking place in the urban space at the turn of the last 150 years. Part of the album presents photos from Krosno, and some photos from Presov. The introduction to the album, both to the parts of Krosno and Presov, has been translated into Polish, Slovak and English. Moreover, a museum exhibition "Krosno. Transformations" was organized. The exhibition was also presented in Presov. The exhibition was visited by a total of about 200 people.
• Modernization of the tourist infrastructure in Krosno and creation of a multimedia application . As part of the task, a panoramic viewing telescope was purchased, which was mounted on the viewing point of the parish tower in the Market Square in Krosno. An application for phone and tablet was also developed and made available. The purpose of the application is to show you around the Krosno Old Town Complex. As part of the application, you can view old photos of a given object and read or hear the description of the monument read by the teacher. As part of the project, a virtual reality application was also developed, presenting the reality of Krosno and its characteristic features / objects at the turn of several hundred years. 3 stations were created to allow viewing the application in VR goggles. These stands were made available on the lowest level of the parish tower, where everyone can view the application for free.
