Samsara VR teleports the audience to a journey that spans millions of years. Like the Six Realms of Existence in Buddhism, the audience reincarnate into different persons and creatures and experience the universe in their new bodies to find the ultimate transcendence spiritually.
The story of Samsara happens in the near future. The resources on Earth have depleted due to the greed of mankind. Catastrophic wars to fight for resources result in global destruction.

Samsara is an experiment based on the concept of Embodied Cognition. Through interactivity and VR, the audience can live inside bodies of different persons and creatures. It is when we feel this world in different bodies that we may truly appreciate the thoughts of others, empathize with them, and comprehend our existence in full and in harmony.
