Hanoi launches virtual reality app for Ba Dinh square

Hanoi has introduced a digital media product, VR-A80, to mark the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day. The platform allows users to explore Ba Dinh Square remotely, the site where President Ho Chi Minh declared independence in 1945.

The project features virtual access to landmarks including the Presidential Palace, National Assembly Building and Ho Chi Minh Museum. It provides an interactive map with bilingual Vietnamese-English guidance. VR-A80 is designed to promote cultural tourism, historical education and Hanoi’s image as both a modern and historic capital.
