DEVELOPMENT OF VIRTUAL TOUR SYSTEMS FOR BUKHARA'S HISTORICAL SITES (THE SEVEN PIR SHRINES) BASED ON THE INTEGRATION OF VIRTUAL REALITY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the digitalization of the famous Seven Pir shrines, which constitute an essential part of the spiritual and historical heritage of the Bukhara region, through the integration of modern digital technologies, particularly Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Special attention is given to the development of remote pilgrimage tourism and the implementation of these technologies in educational processes. Furthermore, the article explores methods for reconstructing the architectural and spiritual characteristics of these sacred sites in virtual environments using advanced three-dimensional scene reconstruction architectures, such as 3D Gaussian Splatting and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF).
