Technology that brings
heritage to life.
AR-o-VR combines augmented and virtual reality with rich storytelling to transform how visitors experience India's most iconic heritage sites — making the past visible, tangible, and unforgettable.
Heritage sites deserve
more than a signboard.
Millions visit India's monuments every year, but most leave without truly understanding what they saw. The Konark Sun Temple isn't just carved stone — it's a 13th-century astronomical marvel. The Khandagiri caves aren't just hollows in rock — they're 2,000-year-old Jain monasteries. AR-o-VR exists to bridge that gap between seeing a site and actually experiencing its story.
Our Mission
Make heritage tourism richer and more engaging by creating immersive digital experiences that help visitors connect with the history around them.
Where We're Headed
We started with one temple in Odisha. The goal is to bring this to heritage sites across India and eventually beyond — changing how the world explores history.
Two ways to experience
a heritage site.
Augmented Reality
Be part of any group or have your own private slot. Walk with our tour expert. Wear smart lightweight Augmented Reality glasses at a monument and see what it looked like centuries ago while wandering — damaged sculptures restored, faded murals brought back in colour, all overlaid right on the real structure in front of you.
Virtual Reality
Book your seat at the air-conditioned, luxurious AR & VR EXPERIENCE CENTRE according to convenience and availability. Get relaxed being seated inside, let our expert help you wear your Smart Glasses for a 15–20 minutes of time-travel experience where you will get to know about the monument, making you a pro about that heritage from any layman.
