USA, September 1, 2011 (penn-olson.com): Gods and temples have gone 3D. Girish Dhakephalkar, founder of India-based start-up, Shoonya, has used 3D technology to create an awesome online experience for anyone who doesn’t have convenient access to temples.
Girish has created interactive 3D apps to simulate temple worship of Ganesha and Krishna. You can do simple puja rituals, applying vermilion paste to the God’s forehead and offering flowers and sweets.
Girish explains that he has tried to create a fun and interactive way to experience spirituality, “for younger people who are bred on technology and gadgets as well as older people who are restricted in movement due to their age and therefore cannot visit temples. Because we have brought these online, people can take a quick break from their daily routines of life and get in touch with their spiritual identity.”
