First research at VRAC. (December 2003-July 2004).

My team designed a Virtual Environment of a Hindu Temple and Market.

The part of India used for this project was Vrindavan, Mathura.

We used immersive digital storytelling approach that opened up new areas of inquiry that reflect new research and teaching methods in the field of Religious Studies.
