    In the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, "time capsules" will be installed - corridors in which a presence effect will be created using 3D effects.

    Boris Kislitsyn, co-founder, creative director of Pitch and the Power of Light Studio, told about this in his presentation at the Cultural Heritage Week in Tashkent.

    It is planned that four museum halls dedicated to historical epochs will open in the Center of Islamic Civilization, and another hall - Koran. The exhibits with the exhibition of artifacts will be complemented by huge monitors. These halls will be connected by "time capsules". The whole project is called the "Wall of Time".

    Thus, the hall of the pre-Islamic era with the hall dedicated to the "First Renaissance" (IX-XIII centuries) will be connected by a 32-meter capsule, telling with the help of maps about the spread of Islam in Transoxiana. The way to the next hall - the "Second Renaissance" (Timurid times) - lies through a 47-meter capsule telling about the invasion of the Mongols and their subsequent exile by Amir Temur. Finally, the third "time capsule", which is dedicated to the colonialism of the Russian Empire, will lead to the hall "Third Renaissance - New Uzbekistan".

    "We have been engaged in museum and exhibition activities for quite a long time, and it is a great honor for me to cooperate with the Center of Islamic Civilization. I would like to contribute as much as possible to the cause of the Third Renaissance. We are working on the immersive experience and the media component of the museum, because about 70% of museum visitors are expected to be young people. I want to speak in a language that is understandable and interesting to them. The center of Islamic Civilization answers to its name. There should be multilingualism, different categories of visitors will come. We focus on flexible tools such as multimedia solutions, innovative technologies, they will create a unique, unforgettable and, of course, seamless experience for every visitor," Boris Kislitsyn said.
