Be it Yue Fei (岳飛) or Mu Lan (花木蘭), stories and fables from ancient China carry with them important life lessons that are still significant in our lives today. Turn these stories into Virtual Reality (VR) so that more people can experience life in ancient China.
The Library is organising a series of talks and workshops and by participating in these series of talks and workshops, you will be able to come up with new ideas, learn VR techniques, and explore 3D modelling tools, to kick-start your VR story!
Submit your VR story by 6:00pm, 1 Jun 2018, and you will stand a chance to win our contest! Check the VR Contest Website to understand more on the talks and workshops, equipment and software available, and submission guidelines.
The VR contest is supported by Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (EIE) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, PaulDesign, EGG Technologies, and International Children VR Film Fest.
