VR Ulm Experience
VR experience (project)
This is the first 3D world for the Birdly flight simulator. Through Virtual Reality, the user is invited to explore the historic city of Ulm, Germany in 1890. At the heart of our experience is the highest church steeple of the world, the Ulm Minster. Our aim was to create a real-time VR experience that gives tourists the opportunity to explore the historic city from a bird’s perspective. Over a period of six months, the designers modeled, textured, and placed around 2,000 historically correct houses and 6,000 further objects, added spatial sounds and flight wind. Since its opening, each month thousands of people have fulfilled their very own dream of flying like a bird.
