Detailed Description

The live virtual convocation for IIT Bombay, organised by Prof. Sumant Rao from IDC IITB, was an innovative solution to conduct the graduation ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project involved the recreation of the traditional convocation ceremony in a fully virtual environment, allowing around 2000 students to participate remotely. The ceremony included real-time animations of the avatars, with degrees being conferred in the same manner as in a traditional ceremony. The virtual convocation was a testament to the creative use of technology to maintain the tradition of graduation while adapting to the constraints of the pandemic.
