Divergence
of Buddhist Experience
Creative Platform of Experience Manifestation
For
long, Buddhism has spread and materialize its ideology and teachings through
the experience created by architecture and ceremonies that the Buddhist
perceive in order to plant and manifest the idea into ones mind. Divergence of
Buddhist Experience is a virtual space that allows the user to illustrate and
materialize their envisagement of the experience that they desire to enhance
the Buddhist practices and ceremonies according to the individual preference. Each
contribution from the user will then be used to form a creative network
platform that act as an archive to store all the designed virtual spaces that
can be shared and accessed by every user. The constructed virtual space must be
used to house virtual 16 meters tall Phra Sri San Phet, the same as what the
Grand Hall used to function. Each space will then be used for Buddhist practices
and ceremonies, accessible by the people onsite and online.
The
user who is on the real physical site of Wat Phra Sri Sanphet Grand Hall will
be granted access to the design interface via the creative virtual headset
consisting of a virtual ocular device with a camera attachment to record the
surroundings, a hand gesture recognition device, and a built in open back
headphone, allowing them to see, hear, and manipulate the virtual elements
respectively, of both the design interface and the constructed virtual space. Only
the user onsite will be able to construct the virtual space as they will be
able to perceive and scrutinize the context, ambient atmosphere, and variables
of the physical site. The user will be given the constructed virtual grammar
that act as a foundation where they will be constructing upon. Every
architectural design element must be placed on the same existing layout of the
ruin.
The
design interface aids the user by enabling the new perception through
transition of reality such as the ability to see sound, enhancing the
creativity and as well as truly understand every single choice and element that
they choose. Each choice being made will be shown to the user instantly so that
they may experience their creation in real time to achieve the desired effects.
They will interact with the design interface through physical body contact with
the virtual elements which will response with the user for every certain body
gesture. Once the virtual space has been constructed, it will be stored in the
online archive of each individual account. It is an interactive platform where
different users can access and experience every virtual space through the same
medium of the virtual headset and a 3d scanner to record their body and
transform that into digital format into the online network. This network allows
the Buddhist society from all around the world to form a new community through
virtual space that doesn’t just give the user conventional spaces but a
holistic archive where contribution creates the network itself. The users are
able to interact with other online and onsite user who chooses the same space
to perform the practices and ceremonies together.
This
interactive network is designed to blur the demarcation of ideology on how
Buddhist practices and ceremonies should be experience. Being a core of the
space, the Buddha image act as a portal in which the user is able to
materialize and manifest their thoughts of the new space should be. This space
embraces different perspectives from both Buddhist and non-Buddhist user,
creating a divergence to enhance the experience.
