The Hindu
A team from Salem has created a VR game that lets users cycle around monuments, from their homes
Despite lockdown, Athik Mohamed M, Deepesh M and Anung Yangfo K from Salem managed to cycle around the Taj Mahal in Agra. It only took 15 minutes. This team of three final year students of Civil Engineering, from Thiagarajar Polytechnic College in Salem, has launched Heritage Race, a Virtual Reality mobile-only game that lets players explore Indian monuments and historic cities. The game has been created as part of All India Council for Technical Education’s (AICTE) Toycathon 2021, an initiative under the AtmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, to propel innovative minds ‘to conceptualise novel toys and games that are based on Bharatiya civilisation, history and culture’.More Related News
