Interface of the application. 

Interactive Technology Experiences: "History Wall" and "Virtual Reality (VR) Glasses"

These interactive features offer delegates engaging ways to explore historical milestones and visual content related to the Party's development.

History Wall: This installation allows participants to physically move a large touchscreen along a rail to explore different time periods. As the screen reaches each marked point, corresponding videos, images, and documents automatically appear. The aim is to make history more vivid, interactive, and memorable compared to traditional static displays.

Virtual Reality (VR) Glasses: The VR system immerses users in a 360-degree virtual environment to view historical scenes and models in lifelike detail.

Setup Instructions: Press and hold the power button on the left side of the headset for about three seconds until the Meta logo appears. Remove the battery seals from both controllers, secure them with wrist straps, and press and hold the "Menu" button for two seconds to activate. When the white light flashes and a vibration occurs, the controllers are ready.

Usage: Adjust the straps and focus, wear the headset, explore 360-degree videos by turning your head, select items within the VR interface, and interact with "hotspots" for an immersive experience.

These digital applications at the 18th Hanoi Party Congress mark an important step toward modern, innovative, and accessible Party activities in the capital.
