Anil Kumar, IPS, Additional CP, Traffic whose idea this was said “many of my friends and relatives in other parts of the country and overseas often told me that it’s a pity that they were unable to be there on the occasion. Also, many elderly people were unable to experience the event save for on Television. So, when I heard about what Kalpnik was doing to help devotees immerse in devotion through VR, I reached out to them and they willingly agreed to shoot and live stream in real time the Visarjan. This is the first time that any Visarjan will be live streamed in VR and I am sure the experience will be Immersive”.
Ashwani Garg – CEO & Co Founder of Kalpnik Technologies Pvt. Ltd said “It is a privilege for Kalpnik Technologies to be able to connect people with their faith using cutting edge technology. With close to 250,000 app installs in 7 months, we are now live streaming Aartis and Pujas daily, based on the feedback we have received from our customers. Ganesh Visarjan will be a truly wonderful and immersive experience for those with VR headsets.
Having invested in state-of-the-art live recording and streaming cameras and real time editing solutions we are now ready to serve our customers with an immersive experience. Kalpnik Technologies, in just over 7 MONTHS since its launch has 360 VR content from 45 temples and Spiritual leaders. We are also in the process of bringing an additional 150 temples. This is truly a blessing for Devotees who for various reasons like Ill health, age related issues, distance and time and financial constraints are unable to visit the temple.
We are confident that by the end of the year we will have close to 200 temples Pujas and Aartis on our App, VR DEVOTEE”.
