The Phoenix of Gaza XR is an interactive VR experience, capturing the untold stories of Gaza’s people and its transformation. Dive deep into the lives of those who endured and rebuilt.
The project includes hundreds of videos and images using 360-degree camera of daily activities in Gaza and the majority of historical places in the Gaza Strip before it was destroyed (about 80% of the Gaza Strip has been destroyed since October 7, 2023). The material includes images and videos of historical monuments, cultural sites, public squares, universities, schools, cafes, streets, agricultural areas, parks, beach, markets, and amusement places. This is in addition to capturing Palestinian culture through weddings, stitching workshops, dabke (traditional dance), palm harvesting, clay and pottery making, and other hand-made professions.
VR stands for Virtual Reality. It is a technology that places you in a digital, fully virtual environment.
