virtual worship
Combining religion, accessibility, and XR
Partnered with NYU Defining Accessiblity Within XR, Grace Church (NYC), and Hare Krishna Temple (LA)
Problem statement
During COVID my grandmother was unable to go to the Hindu temple, a place she would often spend her weekends. In an effort to help I created statues of Gods from Hindu and various religions to help her and others view and explore places in XR. In my time at NYU I have expanded this project to NYC and partnered with local organizations.

"Virtual worship gave us the ability to have our community members connected when they were in the hospital. Very often we find they miss seeing their friends every sunday and this gave them a chance to feel and remember that connection."
