The product, available in Vietnamese at //www.ufabetindo.in/50namgiaiphongmiennam/, offers a fresh, innovative format featuring a 3D interactive game centred around the indomitable symbol of the April 30 Victory – the tank of the Liberation Army breaking down the gates of the Independence Palace. This iconic moment has become a source of national pride, reflecting the people’s relentless desire for the complete liberation of the South and the reunification of the country.
Like a slow-motion film, the VietnamPlus product immerses readers in the historic journey of national reunification, from the Central Highlands Campaign, the rapid advance of troops breaking new ground, to the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign and General Duong Van Minh’s surrender.
This heroic chapter of the nation’s history is brought to life through archival videos, 3D graphic interactions, touch gestures on desktops (or smartphones), allowing readers to experience this momentous time. Historical information is presented in a data-journalism style, while video-graphics bring the story to life. A podcast recounts the unforgettable moments of the nation's history. Users can toggle sound on and off and drive the tank on-screen, using smartphone controls or the arrow keys and WASD on desktops to enhance their experience.
