via Phnom Penh Post, 17 May 2021: A proposed museum promises to offer an immersive experience to the temples of Angkor using 3D imaging technology.
Museums internationally are increasingly turning to immersive exhibitions as their star attractions, providing a multi-sensory experience where the visitor is immersed in the subject matter and transported through time and space to another era.
Immersive Angkor will allow visitors to travel back in time and see with their own eyes how the ancient Khmer people built temples that were so grand in their conception and design that they managed to outlast the Khmer Empire that they were monumental parts of.
Stepping into a large room, 3D images will emerge from eight directions and circle visitors, who can then see historical events being played out in front of their eyes through the use of this high-end technology.
“For the visitors, both international and local, the immersive experience will utilise cutting-edge technology that allows them to witness a recreation of the temples being constructed through ultra-realistic 3D animations,” says Soreasmey Ke Bin, CEO of Confluences.
Confluences, founded in 2014, specialises in assisting other businesses that are looking to establish or expand their operations in Cambodia or other Southeast-Asian markets.
