14 Day Virtual, 3D Walkthrough of The City Palace Museum, Udaipur

The Museum was officially closed to its visitors nearly a week prior to the actual lockdown. In order to give the virtual audience a sense of connect, despite the situation, a day-wise exploration of The City Palace Museum, Udaipur was set into place. Each day, a new area, with interesting details was showcased using a 3D video that was prepared in association with the State Government a couple of years ago.

The idea was to re-purpose existing content while still connecting with and taking the Museum to the audiences. This initiative was a first of its kind amongst Museums across the World, and received mention in the Deccan Herald.
