The Tampere Lutheran Parishes goal is to bring the Tampere Cathedral and its paintings  alive. We want to invite people to explore the Cathedral in innovative ways on the spot and virtually from  home. The Tampere Cathedral has remarkable historical value of course but in the upcoming years our wishes  are that it could enhance its profile even more. 

• How could the Cathedral offer people nontraditional experiences? How can we bring church art to present  with new ways to explore it? What platform would work best for this kind of project?

• We are hoping the solutions are available on the spot but also virtually remote. Utilizing VR/AR technology with architecture and art. Our goal is to develop immersive storytelling which could attract  people and give new perspectives towards the cathedral. Instead of historical facts the focus would be  on the storytelling. 

• We hope that the project will give us possibilities to demo these virtual experiences and even implement  some of them there. There are some story topics already thought that can be used in the project.
