In the frenzy of modern technology, tradition and culture are often overlooked. However, in line with the advancement of technology, an interesting innovation has emerged: Virtual Reality (VR) Simulation of Ngaben Ceremony has emerged to preserve Balinese tradition and culture and change the way we look at it.
From the enchanting Bali to remote parts of the country, the Ngaben Ceremony is one of the cultural heritages that must be preserved. However, not everyone understands the meaning and processions contained in it. This is the background of this revolutionary app. Ngaben, a sacred ceremony in Balinese Hinduism, has the important purpose of purifying the spirit of the deceased. Although it is synonymous with the burning of the body, many do not understand the procession and the philosophy behind it. The ceremony is not just a ritual, but also a deep reflection of Bali's rich beliefs and culture.
