Mobile suit gundam: Silver phantom
Gundam is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, and we are proud of this VR movie, Mobile Suite Gundam: Silver Phantom, which allows anyone to experience the Universal Century timeline. With Atlas V and Albyon, we successfully integrated Gundam’s essence with VR-specific techniques. Bandai Namco already has a life-size Gundam statue, but this VR film lets the audience experience the world, characters, and story of Gundam at full scale. That is the innovation of VR films. I will refrain from detailing the contents, but I hope everyone will see and feel it in VR and share the excitement.

Project_Y: Working Title
This is a horror game using 360° live-action VR footage. The 360° footage is shot in the form of interviews with “stories that haunt you if you listen to them”, allowing you to look around as if you were there. However, once you start playing the game, the “curse” falls not only on the main character, but also on the users themselves; in other words, you. The aim of the game is therefore to unravel this curse through the gameplay. In the interview clips with the various people involved, traces of an ominous presence are shown in places, and finding all of them is the key to solving the curse. Then, the user is able to relive the narrative while getting closer to the heart of the story.

A simple silence
It seems like such an easy request: a simple silence. A stillness without the weight of work or love or death. A moment in between. But we have learned there is an almost impossible gap between this ambition and the reality of living, that our silence is never simple. In the flickering light, we hold our breaths, anticipating the storm. Something must be lost before it can be found. A Simple Silence is the final chapter in Riverbed Theatre’s award-winning Just For You Trilogy that premiered in Venice in 2022 with All That Remains and continued in 2023 with Over the Rainbow. This new 360VR experience continues the series’ exploration of our connectedness to the world around us, imbuing the environment with an animistic quality while also blurring the boundary between seeing and being seen. The audience is not a witness to the experience; they are the experience. A Simple Silence confronts us with the uneasiness of our inevitable truths, that every beginning implies an ending, that we are shadows passing through the darkness.

Rencontres
The experience Rencontres puts users, i.e. spectators immersed in this interactive work, in the grips of inextricable situations they already know, but which they will be able to push to their limits and find the thread of a solution when they least expect it. In Rencontres n°1 The Crowd, they are faced with individuals who refuse all forms of communication, in favor of a mortifying “entre-soi”. In Rencontres n°2 The Birds, they are confronted by poultry whose only thought is to continue eating noxious food (generated by the users themselves). In Rencontres n°3 Colossus, they are giants whose actions cause planes to proliferate to a saturation point. Each episode is punctuated by rain, from a few drops in the introduction, to a full- blown storm, giving way to a damp fog before the Epilogue. My intention in this project, is to build up a rapid and powerful solastalgia around the spectacle of the disaster and the desolation already there and yet to come.

Play Life
Žaisti Gyvenimą is a virtual reality film / immersive experience, created based on the paintings of the popular Lithuanian modern artist Algis Kriščiūnas. Using modern computer graphics technologies, the artist’s works were recreated in three-dimensional space and placed in an all- encompassing virtual environment. In the almost half-hour long film, Algis Krisčiūnas’ paintings become living stories, which are given meaning by the exciting choreography of directorial decisions and a specially adapted musical soundtrack of the author’s creation. In this film, you will not only see the paintings brought to life, but you will also hear unique stories written by the author Algis Kriščiūnas himself. It is a conversation between a woman and a man about the passing of life—a nostalgic story coloured by memories and experiences, which gives meaning to the artist’s creative thought and reveals a complex world of feelings. The film was created by a large international team of film, computer graphics and animation professionals.

Impulse: playing with reality
What makes ideas real? Exploring the extreme side of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Impulse brings together sharp- witted gameplay and dramatic first-hand accounts of people whose intense emotions lead them to a life at the edge. Leanne turns her world into a game to escape boredom. Omar’s chaotic mind focuses on masterminding risky heists. Errol creates a madcap persona to get respect. And Tara is on the brink of giving up. Their stories are brought home through mixed reality. Attempting to follow a train of thought, the stuff in your room sets off a chain reaction leading to all sorts of mayhem. Shadows on your walls become portals into labyrinthine worlds. Words spiral out into alternative meanings and possibilities. Highlighting the inner life of ADHD, and the often-dismissed experience of the quiet girls, Impulse focuses on the thrill of acting without thinking and the power of uncovering your own patterns.

Through the medium of mixed reality, you can experience the gradual transformation of your familiar surroundings into the dwelling of a Ukrainian family, spanning from a peaceful past to the tumultuous present. As you navigate through your space, the voices of Ukrainian people in traditional melodies accompany you, guiding you under the roof of your very own memories and feelings associated with your home.

Strangeways
Strangeways floats and flows beyond our own strangled world. It’s where corridors twist into gardens, and fingers scribble sketches of dreams. Creatures, plants, earth, junk (and the stuff in the gaps between them) all converse and share wild thoughts. Come inside and explore the strange ways together. Strangeways is a hand-drawn immersive VR world looking at the garden of humanity’s creations from the detritus of our dreams to the junkyards of absurdity and our collective myths. Once in the void, a stone spoke “How many things are there?”. A leaf thought “There can be as many things as you want there to be” “Where will I find them?” Blinked the eye.

Ito Meikyu
Ito Meikyū is a virtual reality experience inspired by Japanese art history and literature (fukinuki yatai, The Tale of Genji, The Pillow Book). It unfolds as a sensory fresco with drawn, animated, and sound scenes in a digital labyrinth of fractal architectures, inhabited by plants, objects, animals, people, patterns, and calligraphy. The project uses the “thread metaphor” to combine text, textile, and existence, materialising on screen through weaving principles. This metaphor connects life and love, representing relationships as threads linking individuals. In this piece, drawing becomes volume and architecture—Ito Meikyū is literally the “thread labyrinth”.
