Abstract:

This article explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) as a transformative tool for engaging the public with Bangladesh’s cultural heritage. By integrating immersive technologies into tourism and remote education, VR can enhance the accessibility, interpretation, and preservation of historical sites and traditions. Specifically, we focus on the application of VR in Bangladesh, where many cultural heritage sites are either physically inaccessible or lack comprehensive educational resources. VR offers an innovative approach to overcoming these barriers while promoting public engagement in both tourism and education sectors.
