Originally imagined as a WebAR experience, we quickly identified the opportunity to embrace mobile VR as a better and more cost-effective alternative. With this approach we were able to immerse users directly into a full 360 virtual environment, simulating the kind of coastal look-out positions the Observer Corps would have taken up.
The result is an instant sense of stepping back in time to this critical, perilous moment in British history.
Once there, the user is quickly introduced to the challenge ahead, using narrative and historical characters from the day itself. We were thrilled to work with IWM historians to ensure the experience was as accurate as it could be, whilst offering the kind of fun, rewarding experience that history fans of all kinds would enjoy.
