A 3D presentation of the book “You Don’t Know What War Is: The Diary of a Young Girl From Ukraine” by Yeva Skalietska took place in London.

Westfield Shopping Center and Kings Cross Station have installed a special construction displaying the diary to visitors.

HyperGram technology was used for the presentation for the first time in the history of the UK book market. The innovation allows seeing the objects that seem to float in space without 3D glasses or special applications. Moreover, the hologram includes sound.
