Simulating Location-Based Experiences in VR

Abstract

This research is a collaboration with Aardman Animations, a worldrenowned animation studio to innovate their linear storytelling into a real-time, interactive and spatially immersive experience. We developed a room-scale VR experience to simulate the installation in order to visualise the projection distortion under different conditions. A study was then conducted using our simulation to investigate the effect of distortion of the projections on the experience of immersion and how three factors effected the distortion. This paper explains the preliminary results and the process.
