Realmbreak Hotel
STORY
A VR-experience about the human connection with and in virtual and physical reality.
The visitor of the experience walks through this virtual hotel which is made up of pixels. They will be send there with the task to save their brother that is stuck in the hotel because he became dependant on pixels.
The story develops further after meeting live captured volumetric actors (holograms) that will try to affect the outcome of the story.
The question is…
Do you stay for another night and will you become a resident of the pixel hotel?
Or do you return back to the physical reality and will you save your addicted brother out of this virtual place?
TECHNOLOGY
In this project Floris van Laethem tries to push the boundaries of film, animation, VR, gaming and theatre. By using live actors in a virtual world and by making the visitor the main character of the story that decides how the story will unfold, it leads to a total new way of storytelling.
By connecting this media to an actual society-critical subject he is able to make this subject discussable in a playful way.
