Project Overview

Research scope & objectives

Cultural Heritage (CH) is an identity of any group. This project focuses on digitizing the eco-cultural heritage of the Majuli River Island of Assam using archiving technologies and immersive technologies (VR and AR). Three types of users are considered: Live Tour Users (smart-glass, in-situ with overlaid multimedia information), Virtual Tour Users (HMD, remote experience), and Mobile Tour Users (smartphones/tablets for detailed information about CH entities). The main focus is to make the CH system give a user the experience of sensing realism and allow them to interact with the virtual world using controllers or body gestures.
