"On the second floor of a cultural center at Christ Cathedral in Orange County, an AI-rendered depiction of Jesus, calm and smiling, fills one side of the room. Breaking a piece of flatbread in two, he passes it to the 12 similarly enlarged men projected on all four walls around him. On the ground are images of heaping plates of food - roast lamb, vegetables, olives and dips."
""Take and eat," the AI Jesus says. "This is my body." In the center of the room, real-life visitors arrayed on 26 swivel chairs turn their heads back and forth to take in the supersized Last Supper occurring all around them. Already, they have been plunged into the sea of Galilee watching as Jesus walked on water and witnessed his transfiguration on a mountain top. It was all part of what's being touted as "a museum unlike any other, where faith and forensics meet.""
An immersive 10,000-square-foot exhibit at Christ Cathedral uses artificial intelligence, digital projection and special effects to recreate scenes from Jesus' life and to showcase the Shroud of Turin. Visitors experience enlarged, AI-rendered depictions of Jesus and immersive panoramas such as the Last Supper, walking on water and the transfiguration while seated on swivel chairs. The presentation blends devotional imagery with forensic-oriented interpretation and aims to engage contemporary audiences through highly visual, interactive storytelling. The exhibit occupies the former Crystal Cathedral campus and positions itself as a tourist attraction combining faith, technology and education.
