Heritage Immersive Experience Ecosystem Metaverse
An immersive experience pulls a person into new reality, enhancing everyday life experience with technology.
Immersive experiences look and feel different depending on where and how they are applied and the form of media goes from an art Installation to the books :
Installation :
HARIR
Harir is an octagonal large scale interactive audiovisual projection mapping art installation that takes the viewer into the world of Harir.
It's a Kaleidoscopic installation & a mysterious music sensory experience into the marvelous heritage.
Design of the Installation is inspired by octagonal structures of the Bai Harir Step well monument, Ahmedabad, India
Any Heritage site is a huge space that can only be experienced live but never from a distance. But what if we could change that? What if we make you feel exactly how you would have at the site, raise your emotive responses and make you feel you're exactly there, but at your own space?
Stepwell that is over 500 years old! This beautiful structure, locally known as "Dada Harir Ni Vav ", is almost 240 ft. deep and covers an area of approximately 1700 sq. mts of space in its compound.
Kaleidoscopic installation & a mysterious music sensory immersive experience.
An experimental film, projected on the octagonal kaleidoscopic screen as shown in the above images, it is an audio-visual representation of the HARIR, which simulate the experience, and communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, and atmosphere of the monument, showing the lost story of woman who build this monument. the use of motion pictures synchronized with the sound.

Books and print is traditional media and it has its physical value.
To create physical value for digital immersive experience of the heritage.

Mixed Reality
ADDING LAYERS ON THE CURRENT REALITY
Mixed reality (MR) is an enhanced version of AR, tying in elements of VR as well.
It integrates entire virtual objects into the real world vs. simply adding information, with the goal of creating an even more immersive experience than AR could alone.
Immersive app mixes the virtual world and the real world i.e. when you see calendar (illustration of the monument) , it emerge 3D monument and it's information in a real time.
Prototype of Mixed reality app that pop up the illustration in 3D with the Information.
