Traditions and culture play a major role in our society as they are the source of a person’s pride and honor. From this perspective, an innovative idea to use Virtual Reality (VR) technology to preserve traditions, is needed. Our proposed game will simulate the genuine Qatari Hunting Sport, which is considered as one of the most famous traditional sports in Qatar. However, following this sport is very expensive in terms of time, efforts and resources. Since this sport is challenging physically, only male adults can join. However, this project will not only preserve the traditional sport from extinction, but will also allow children from both genders to participate in it. The game will be an innovative means to help spreading Qatari heritage by commercializing it to the world. Moreover, it will help to learn the rules of such a sport in a safe and fun environment.
