VR Immersive Buddhist Debate: Digital Inheritance of Tibetan Buddhist Culture

The Project

My project is a VR immersive Tibetan Buddhist debate experience, designed to address the limited accessibility and static presentation of traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture. Inspired by my visit to monasteries and the desire to make these cultural practices more engaging and understandable, I developed a 3D interactive experience using Unity and C#. The project features three key scenes: a debate hall where users can observe and interact with the ritual, a digital scripture library for learning, and a prayer wheel plaza for cultural immersion. I overcame challenges like optimizing VR performance and recreating the complex logic of debate interactions, while prioritizing cultural accuracy. Designed for education and public engagement, this low-cost VR experience makes Tibetan Buddhist heritage accessible to all, promoting cultural preservation and cross-cultural understanding.
