Vasudha - Enabling Sustainable Living
The Vision
Approached by Shri Vasudeo, Chairman of Vivekananda Kendra, I was tasked with creating a permanent digital exhibition focused on sustainability for the thousands of visitors who frequent the Kanyakumari campus. While the brief called for a "Digital Convention," I pushed the boundaries of the requirement by designing a system that is 100% cloud-native, allowing for real-time content updates from anywhere in the world.
The Experience Design
I conceptualized a multi-sensory journey that balances ambient visual storytelling with deep-dive educational content:
Ambient Learning: 10 vertical screens displaying curated, short-form visual content.
Deep-Dive Bays: 4 large-format horizontal screens featuring long-form films.
Immersive Audio: 5 wireless headphone stations per bay to ensure high-fidelity sound without acoustic interference.
The Prelude: A flagship exterior screen that introduces the mission and importance of the "Vasudha" initiative.
Technical Execution & Management
This was a true "end-to-end" project where I managed both the digital and physical realms:
3D Visualization: Developed full 3D walkthroughs of the experience to secure stakeholder alignment before construction began.
Hardware Sourcing: Specified and sourced all display technology and specialized cloud-integration hardware.
Project Oversight: Coordinated directly with construction teams on-site in Kanyakumari to ensure the physical build matched the digital design.
Cloud Infrastructure: Engineered the backend to ensure the entire convention remains dynamic, scalable, and easy to update remotely.
Impact: The "Vasudha" Digital Convention was officially inaugurated on Vivekananda Jayanti, January 2025, serving as a modern beacon for sustainability education at one of India's most iconic spiritual centers.
