Digital Heritage Project: Virupaksha Temple

DATE: Jan 2011

PARTNERS: Microsoft Research India & Jaaga.

COMMUNITY: Hampi crafts fraternity

We worked in collaboration with Microsoft Research India (MSRI) to develop a blue-sky-rich narrative interface demo as part of the Digital Heritage project. We documented built and intangible heritage at Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, using the most compelling technologies that MSRI researchers were working on. 

The digital narratives we showcased leverage the Rich Interactive Narratives (RIN) technology developed by Microsoft® Research. RIN offers a way to seamlessly combine cinematic experiences with user exploration to create rich interactive and immersive narratives.
