Mahabharata is an ancient legend, going back to 5000 years expanding along the countries of South Asia. This battle was influential in eradicating the evil rulers from the society and the establishment of righteousness in the society. To bring such a significant narrative to the modern society inspired us to create this immersive experience in augmented reality.
We need an inquisitive mind, the passion to create an immersive experience with technology. The motive behind this project was to introduce values from the ancient Indian epic to the audience. A few of the team members had prior knowledge about Indian culture, however it was not a pre-requisite. All of us performed research, created relevant narratives, led game development and eventually created an immersive experience.
After careful research, we contemplated various parts of the epic and selected those stories that would engage the players most via AR. After thorough discussions and guidance from professor and TA, we finalized the narrations, AR experience mechanics and how it would all come together.
It is not diffcult, but the games require a key aspect which is depicted in the archery game. The main aim of the experience is to engage the user.
I would not change anything, but would add more experiences depending on how much more time we could work on this fascinating project!
