Be it Yue Fei or Mu Lan, stories and fables from ancient China carry with them important life lessons that are still significant in our lives today. Turn these stories into VR so that more people can experience life in ancient China. The Library is organising a series of talks and workshops and by participating in these series of talks and workshops, you will be able to pick up skills to develop your own VR story. Your VR story will then be submitted into a contest.
