Project goal

Our client was Mars4, a large NFT and Metaverse creator.

The client asks to make the next scope:

1. build a mix of:

- Mars SuperRare NFT land plot exploration in VR building and 3D models of them - Build in VR Town/Country related great experiences that can be moved to Mars (Buildings, Music, Art ...)

- Some games aka Speedslide, Roller Coaster, Skydiving

- get some more emotions if it is the first time a user has experience with VR. Each NFT with VR becomes a real State of ART.

2. 15-30min length. should be related to Dubai and Newton Crator = NEW DUBAI!

So our main goal was to recreate Dubai on Mars and make an interesting and action VR video. Also important that timings should be close to 15 minutes. For all this, we agreed on a crazy 16 week deadline.

We made everything from scratch, starting with an idea, concept, and storyboard and finishing by VR 13:15 min. video.

The project was a great challenge for us, we created about 12 levels, with dynamic plots and scenes for just watching and relaxing. For example. the scene with the Mars rover we take the real sound recording from Mars. Flying over Dubai and the Mars scene was a bit challenging as well because tests show that some users were swayed and nauseous from the violent flight. Therefore, we decided to use special handrails on the flight instrument. Thanks to them, the viewer focused his eyes, and motion sickness stopped.

Unfortunately, the deadline was rescheduled for 3 months because of the war invasion in Ukraine. But even with this forsmageure, we finished the project successfully and now you can enjoy watching it in Oculus Quest 2 or another VR headset :)
