This immersive experience provided visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the historical and cultural significance of the \u201cTen Courts of Hell\u201d, a narrative inspired by Chinese mythology and once prominently displayed in the former Tiger Balm Garden.<\/p><p>Over its six-month run, the exhibition attracted 6,316 visitors through government-led guided tours. Of these, 2,285 participants engaged directly with the \u201cTen Courts of Hell\u201d virtual reality experience.<\/p><p>To enrich this cultural initiative, 32 students from the general education module \u201cVirtual Reality and Meta Technologies for Society\u201d volunteered as assistants during selected sessions. Their contributions included supporting VR demonstrations, distributing surveys, and facilitating hands-on interactions, blending practical service-learning with meaningful community engagement while contributing to the exhibition&#8217;s success.<\/p><p>The exhibition was co-organised by HSUHK\u2019s Virtual Reality Centre, Centre of Teaching and Learning, Department of Art and Design, and the School of Decision Sciences, in collaboration with Hong Kong Chu Hai College and the Antiquities and Monuments Office of the Development Bureau. It received generous sponsorship from the Aw Boon Haw Foundation, with venue support from the Commissioner for Heritage\u2019s Office of the Development Bureau.<\/p><p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
