Augmented Reality - Mythology

Mythology is all about stories, facts, and myths. Visiting historical places, temples, and museums alike, one comes across tour guides who help the visitor to understand what’s in front of them and more importantly, what led to its construction/existence. This historical-mythical context becomes extremely important in the face of it. But how do you create an immersive experience that can not only increase the user interaction but also pique the interest of the visitors?

Step forward, XR with its immersive approach that creates an enriched, informative experience. Apart from this, XR can also help in breaking the linguistic barriers which at times become a major hindrance in the guide-tourist interaction.

It all starts with a simple scanning of an image or a QR code, The user will be taken to the augmented visual world where they can envision the particular place. It gives all the information about the place’s history, the required context along with less-known facts.

Moreover, with XR, an avatar can be created to help the customer with navigation. With XR-navigation, a user simply needs to follow the instructions of the avatar to witness an immersive learning tour.

This amplified visual immersiveness can be used to explain all the intrinsic details about the site in a very entertaining and fun manner.

It is very rightly said, ‘Every canvas is a journey of its own.’ Art has the power of depicting stories beyond the canvas. With XR, these paintings can be brought to life. (Remember those Harry Potter movies?)

This experience is highly interactive and keeps the viewer engaged.

After scanning an image/QR code, the user will see the piece of art or the painting(s) in hyper-reality, i.e in the real surroundings.

With XR, the painting comes to life and this immersive experience can further be used to narrate the story or idea behind the artifact in question using voiceovers and visual rendition.

When we visit a temple or a museum or any historical place for that matter, we come across pamphlets or brochures that give us an idea of the whole demography. But imagine, if you could get a virtual digital tour of the whole place just from that single piece of paper.

With XR, a user can take a digital tour of the place without having to move a step. After knowing the where and how’s of the place, a user can decide which places to go and check out first and have a wonderful time, and be much less exhausted.
