Yashas Joshi
I led the development and support of tools and games for the iMARECULTURE project, funded by the EU Horizon 2020, with €2.7 million. This initiative focuses on enhancing awareness of European identity through maritime cultural heritage, utilizing underwater AR, VR, and serious games. Collaborated with 11 institutions across eight countries. (Grant No. 727153).
Travel back in time and sail through the Eastern Mediterranean during the classical period as the captain of an ancient merchant ship. Start your journey from the port of Piraeus and make your way to different places in the region from Athens to Heracleion-Thonis in Egypt. Take into account seasonal weather patterns and other dangers to ensure the safety of your passage. Carefully manage your supplies to transport your wares from one port to another and, when you arrive, maximize your profits by observing the local industries to trade to your advantage. Where you can sail is determined by your predecessors, but many have perished in these waters in their attempt to amass riches. Will you follow them to their fortune, or to their demise?
