The project that initially started with the aim of visualising the street sounds of Kolkata turned into the creation of an immersive exploration of the city by means of virtual reality. This was done through a series of ideas and design decisions based on the experience, scalability, replicability, and in many cases, cost, time, and constraints of current technology. The creators went on a 15-day journey of collecting data for various aspects of the city, which included ambient and characteristic sounds, images, textual information, and 360-degree views. The creators wanted to evoke nostalgia in those who live in Kolkata or have previously lived there; they wanted them to experience parts of the city before visiting them for "real."The medium's creators believe that VR as a medium has a lot more to develop before it gives a "real experience" of the real world. Yet it is great to give one a partial experience of the place. This partial experience is created through a virtual reality application that enables one to experience certain parts of the city from the comfort of their locale.
