Integrated production

Pilgrim VR exemplifies the integrated production approach at Siraj Studios.

We began with extensive research to collect accurate religious information, followed by crafting a detailed script that guides users through an immersive learning journey.

Our design team developed highly detailed 3D environments of the sacred sites, while professional audio recordings enhanced the overall experience. Finally, our programming team used cutting-edge VR technologies to ensure seamless interaction and engagement, coupled with rigorous testing and improvements to ensure a high-quality product.

The project stood out for its integrated stages, starting from research and writing, through design and programming, and ending with testing and improvements. This ensured a rich and impactful virtual reality experience, reflecting our vision of delivering innovative, high-quality content.

Our Demo Projects

Plumbing Training VR

This is an innovative project designed to train professionals in the disassembly and assembly of water taps using Virtual Reality (VR) technology. This project provides an interactive and safe training environment, allowing trainees to practice the necessary skills effectively and repeatedly. This enhances their efficiency and readiness to handle equipment in the real world, without incurring high costs or facing potential risks associated with hands-on training.
