Illusion Walk receives funding for further Immersive Deck VR experiences
- Illusion Walk receives funding from the “Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg für Innovative Audiovisuelle Inhalte”
(media board Berlin-Brandenburg for innovative audio-visual content) - Promotion project “Sleeping Giant” – New multi-sensory VR adventure for the Immersive Deck
Berlin, July 6, 2017 – The “Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg” (media board Berlin-Brandenburg) funds the development of a new virtual reality experience for the Immersive Deck by Illusion Walk with 60,000 Euros. In the second round of funding for 2017, the media board chose the project “Sleeping Giant” along with other projects in the field of innovative audio-visual content.
Sleeping Giant sends a group of six players on a walkable, multi-sensory VR adventure of light and shadows. Over three levels, the players must defeat the black and white in a man’s head. The VR experience is accompanied by an actor live. The Berlin VR studio Invisible Room will realize the content development.
Jim Rüggeberg, CEO of Illusion Walk KG, on the funding decision: “We are very happy with the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg’s spirited decision to also support VR projects for centers. For one thing, we can realize an immersive experience with a new approach in between interactive entertainment, theater, and motion picture. For another thing, with this project we demonstrate by way of example that new media experiences like this can be developed together with external teams.”
