The Cajasol Foundation celebrates Christmas with an innovative and immersive nativity scene with virtual reality

In a scenario of more than 400 square meters the headquarters of the entity in Seville has installed its traditional nativity scene that this year incorporates virtual reality as a novelty to take the visitor on a trip to the past.

Defined by Antonio Pulido, president of the Cajasol Foundation, As a “monumental nativity scene”, the traditional nativity scene displayed at the headquarters of this entity in Seville combines tradition with virtual reality..

Mounted on a surface of more than 400 square meters with an artificial roof about six meters high and wrapped between arches and stone pillars, This Hebrew-style nativity scene presents as a novelty the possibility of immersing oneself “into the life of another era and teaching the little ones the traditions of Christmas.”.

In this project they have collaborated with Fundación Cajasol, the company Sngular y Vodafone. The objective has been to reproduce scenes in 360 degrees of the Bethlehem and show them in two-dimensional panels so that the user can identify them through the mobile camera and with the virtual reality glasses he will enter inside.

“Basically we are going to be another figurine of the birth. We have taken care of the scale so that when we are inside, the size of the person who is viewing the virtual reality is as similar as possible to that of the figures. We have also taken great care that the images are stereoscopic, "That they have depth with the objective that those who are inside feel as if they are part of it.", explains Evaristo Nogales, CMO en Sngular.

This virtual experience, which is part of the Gozos de Diciembre programming of the Foundation, will be open to visitors, prior reservation, until the 4 January.
