AVATARA: ANGEL

Angel was produced in collaboration with the AVA Dance Company, Rose Bruford University and Copper Candle. Our role here was prilemary as consultants. The initial project, though designed for VR was developed on PC while the target platform was actually the Meta Quest 2 HMD which runs on mobile tech.
As such, the entire project needed to be optimised to run on mobile HMDs which was no easy feat.
The client also wanted to do away with traditional controllers so as to have a more organic feel inside of the experience. for this we scuplted and rigged custom hand models that we then integrated into the project using Metas hand tracking system.
Finally we implemented a complete haptics system using BHaptics Tact Suit and accessories. This gave an extra level of immersion and presence when inside of the experience.
The project was praised for its work in accessability and won multiple awards for its visionary and immersive narrative.
