SPACE ODYSSEY VR
An abstractive walk through the USS Discovery space ship
An abstractive walk through the USS Discovery space ship
Application made as an extension for Stanley’s Kubrick exhibition in Cracow.
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.
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.
