The project aims to conduct practical training on the rituals of Hajj and Umrah properly, step by step, using 3D, interactive, multilingual, multi-environment virtual world techniques, and by simulating the rituals closer to reality, with realistic modeling of high quality, in order to reduce the common mistakes that occur in it in addition to defining non-Muslims who cannot visit the holy places, meaning the obligation of Hajj and Umrah.
Project’s added value and importance:
The essence of Virtual Hajj project is about rules, visual, orientation, timing, recitations, actions and experience of the pilgrimage. The best technology to cover the essences above is Virtual Reality. The project runs in an interactive Virtual Reality technology in the form of a 3D running on ubiquitous mobile technology such as Android and iOS and designed using Experiential Design methodology, running in either standalone or networked environment. With Virtual Hajj, everyone can learn Hajj effectively, interactively and in-depth, everywhere>
