Dewa Dewi Ar:Exploring Balinese Hindu Gods with Augmented Reality Technology
In the midst of rapid technological development, Balinese now have a new access to explore their spiritual heritage: an Augmented Reality-based God and Goddess Recognition app. This technology is not just an app, but also a new window for users to understand more about Hindu Gods and Goddesses in an interactive and engaging way.
The app bridges the gap between tradition and modern technology by utilizing ARCore, an augmented reality platform from Google, which allows users to dive deeper into the spiritual world of Bali. Markers in the form of 2D images of Gods and Goddesses are used as entry points into an experience that reveals the essence and meaning behind each divine entity. Through animated videos, users are introduced to biographies and symbolic depictions that enrich their understanding of the Gods and Goddesses.
The app not only provides information about Gods and Goddesses, but also takes users on an immersive cultural journey. By combining modern technology with ancient traditions, the app delivers an immersive and captivating experience. The collection includes 33 Gods and Goddesses, making this app a rich source of knowledge on Balinese beliefs and culture.
