Recreating Poompuhar Ancient History Using Virtual Reality

It is necessary to ensure historic artefacts that are damaged or deteriorating are accurately documented, and that steps are done to restore them. To improve user experiences in the areas of virtual visitation, science, and education, this paper explains a method of repurposing and restoring historic structures. Nowadays, virtual reality, immersive reality, and augmented reality applications play a major role in allowing people to view and learn about historic monuments, sites, scenes, and buildings. The procedure for working employs digital models that are then integrated into a virtual reality environment that is interactive and immersive. The work method was applied at a Poompuhar is likewise called Kaveripattinam, and one of the maximum exceptional historical Chola ports played a essential position in maritime records of Tamil Nadu. To recreate, to feel, to inculcate interest closer to the research of the cultural heritage, to enhance tourism, this project brings up a new technology closer to mastering and enables masses to push tourism. This work demonstrates how the details of a severely degraded historic structure were retrieved digitally. We created 3D models using Blender which helped to restore deteriorated and nearly non-existent historical buildings, and the resulted images were inserted into game engine Unity, then by using the cross-platform VR environment, they were introduced into an immersive and interactive VR experience. The end consequence, however, is a virtual reality environment that is both immersive and interactive that contains architectural and artistic content developed utilising the Unity video game engine, allowing the user to explore, watch, and interact real-time interaction with a cultural heritage site.
