the
brief

Layers of Reality is a studio specialising in immersive experiences built with cutting-edge technology, working for IDEAL, the Digital Arts Centre of Barcelona.

For one of their projects they needed a multiplayer VR experience that would let groups of visitors roam freely through a large physical space while discovering the worlds of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

the
challenge

Combining creativity, artistic fidelity and technology to deliver an immersive experience that would surprise audiences while staying true to the original works.

Layers of Reality trusted us with the entire artistic and technical side of the project.

the
solution

An experience built in several levels, inviting visitors to explore the works of both artists through animations, transitions and visual effects designed to strengthen the narrative and the sense of immersion.
