The Allegory of the Cave is a theory concerning human perception that claims that knowledge gained through the senses is no more than an opinion and that, in order to have real knowledge, we must gain it.

It describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoner's reality. One of the prisoners escapes the reality of the cave and witnesses the reality outside. He begins to understand his new world, sees that the sun is the source of life, and goes on an intellectual journey where he discovers beauty and meaning.

This story has been narrated and interpreted in many forms over the years. This project is focused on creating a version of the journey of this story in virtual reality. The project proposes a retelling of the story in a subjective manner so that the person experiencing it feels like he is going through the events in the story.

The project is deployed as a virtual reality experience, which people are invited to experience. The evaluation takes into account observations, feedback, and suggestions for improvement from the visitors, measuring the impact and fine-tuning the experience.
