| Abstract | With the fast moving world and information era, the seeking of information through "just a click - to your fingertips" has become a culture, growing rapidly in the Tourist Industry, which as a nation, Sri Lanka lacks for the time being. For us to grow and conquer the present through our glorious heritage, we should seek out for new sources of information distribution methodology and let the world see what we have with the touch of new technology and influence the sensational feeling of a "Tour through our Heritage". Virtual Eye is a platform, a smarter mode of interaction to virtual environments, as per the stepping stone to the new era of tourism, for the first time in Sri Lankan history, with the touch of 3D simulation, and transform the architectural and archeological monuments within Sri Lanka in to a "lively walk through" with embedded tour guide information using textual and audio captions by the unique and unprecedented product, "Virtual Eye", which will "not be Just a Tour Guide with a map" but will be a product including a "walk through the changes over Colonial Eras to the day it is being built" for the tourist to get a remarkable first-hand experience of our heritage behind the monuments preserved by generation over generation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
