In the context of the 1st Ionian Tech Transfer Meeting organized by the Ionian University Technology Transfer Office on 6-8 October 2022, in Corfu, the President of the Department of Tourism of the Ionian University, Assistant Professor, Mr. Konstantinos Voglis, representing the Department, presented its contribution to the regionally funded programme: "C.CAGE": an immersive adventure game for the promotion of local creativity, art and tradition in the city of Corfu.

It is a research project with the Department of Audio and Visual Arts as the main implementing body. Its aim is to design an innovative, accessible and immersive adventure game that will help to support the local market, commercial activity and the overall tourism product of Corfu through a reward system integrated into the gameplay features of the application. The significant increase in the integration of technological media in everyday life in recent years has also had a significant impact on urban living spaces, which are becoming "smart" through the systematic use of the Internet of Things, mobile technologies and next-generation networks. Augmented Reality (AR) technologies inherently combine real and virtual elements, are interactive in real time and presented in three dimensions, which makes them highly usable in the context of urban environments. Thus, C.CAGE with its unique design expects to win the impressions of the Corfu society and its thousands of visitors.
