WALK AROUND SPACE STATION

The user becomes immersed in a virtual environment rendering the corridors of the space-drifting USS Discovery – the ship from the classic film “2001: A Space Odyssey”. The installation uses light play and single-point perspective shots characteristic of Stanley Kubrick’s work. Apart from the space ship interior, the user also explores locations constituting a synthesis of the film’s sceneries and props.


THE FIRST VR PROJECT

This was our first completed VR project based on Unreal Engine 3 and dedicated to the crowdfunded version of the prototype Oculus Rift DK1 goggles. The experiment was prepared as a demo version for the National Museum in Kraków and presented as a proposition to enhance the exhibition devoted to the work of Stanley Kubrick.
