The first haptic experience of our Hadj Experiences collection is a VR visit to the holy city of Mecca and its cube the kaaba. For that we created a realistic representation of the kaaba square, a place where millions of muslims pilgrimage to each year in order to pay homage to god. The experience includes 3D-models of kaaba, square and surrounding mosque buildings. In an animation avatars are walking around the cube and praying sounds are added, as well as middle-eastern lighting animation in order to allow a maximum level of realism. The whole project was made possible by STC Saudi-Arabia.
