Updated virtual space **Unsure and Unfinished**

Iso metric Drawing of the technology or medium the visitor experiences the virtual space
Since the Phra Prang was built to represent the Mount Meru, the center of the universe. In hindu belief, Mount Meru is ringed by six mountain range, each pair separate by the ocean. Along with four continent where the human live. Then Phra Prang derive it from the Hindu belief and use the strategy to design Prang and that make Prang unique and meaningful.

The isometric drawing show one of the virtual space idea that, when the visitor get inside treasure room with their 3D virtual glasses the existing Phra Prang and site itself would be transparency and fade out, open the vision looking on to the Mount Meru symbolisation with that signify only the essence of the meaning of Mount Meru, which in this case is the ground represent as the ocean, border wall and four continents represent by the Chedi. So all the treasure would fall separately into the different category and meaning according to the symbolisation and representation (I'm still not sure about the treasure category yet)

The visitor can choose whether they want to experience Phraprang with 3d virtual glasses or not, because if they want to experience without glasses they would see just the existing site as normal people usually do. If they want to experience it virtually they need to wear glasses.

For the surface of inside out and outside in, the people from outside would see just only the existing Phra Prang with the picture of the treasure virtually on the surface of the brick and ornament, the treasure that overlay on top of the brick surface would related with the brick itself, but for inside people need to get inside the treasure room as the center of Phra Prang, because the top of Prang itself symbolize the God that is in the middle and in the highest range of all, so visitor need to get in first and then they can explore the meaning and virtual space of Mount Meru with the treasure.

In order for the treasure, visitor would only generate with their visual attention according to the object. Treasure would show in a collection of data, when visitor interested in some object, the object itself would be more prominent and coming closer to the visitor while getting bigger to capture the attention.
