01The challenge

Many learners, children and non-Arabic speakers find it hard to get to know the holy sites and rituals up close, and words and pictures alone do not convey the experience.

02The solution

An interactive virtual simulation of the Grand Mosque, the Prophet’s Mosque and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and of Islamic rituals, for education and awareness.

An experience lived through VR headsets or on a computer, in which the user moves between the sites and learns the rituals step by step, in simple language.

03My role

  • Developing the concept and leading the project within MetaLife Metaverse.
  • Overseeing the design of the experience and its educational and awareness content.
