The Holy City is an immersive virtual reality experience that transports participants to Jerusalem and gives them access to the most sacred rituals and holiest sites of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Thanks to striking volumetric captures of these emblematic sites, immersion in the heart of Jerusalem allows participants to discover the timeless rituals of the Sacred Fire, Ramadan and Sukkot. An interfaith team of Jewish, Christian and Muslim filmmakers offers a unique look at this fascinating city, in one of the most ambitious immersive projects ever produced.
Share this experience with your loved ones by taking on challenges, solving riddles and discovering the common values that unite these traditions. As you make your way through the holy sites - the Wailing Wall, the Holy Sepulchre, the Monastery of St. James, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock - you'll unlock clues that will plunge you into a never-before-seen adventure.
The Holy City was named one of the 50 best XR experiences by Forbes in 2019, and won the Lumière award for Best Educational XR Project, as well as Best Interactive VR Experience at the Byron Bay Film Festival in the same year.
