Description

The web-based augmented reality game, launched on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Belvedere Museum, takes children and families on a thrilling adventure through the Baroque palace gardens. The grounds of the Belvedere were once home to a menagerie – one of Europe's earliest zoos - where Prince Eugene gathered animals from around the world. Six of these animals are now the protagonists of the new Fantastic Palastics game: Roco the Lion, Neo the Lemur, Rena the Gazelle, Pop the Sheep, Dada the Ostrich, and Flux the Porcupine. The Fantastic Palastics game brings the history of this World Heritage Site to life with AR technology by Niantic 8th Wall. The game was developed in collaboration with The Brand Father and Orb Amsterdam and powered by Niantic 8th Wall. Wolfgang Bergmann (CFO Belvedere) and Doruk Eker (Orb) will talk about the development and learnings of this innovative project.

As XR developers and artists, our work is strongly defined by interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations, driven by the interest in extending artistic-speculative concepts and spatial perception through immersive and interactive media. At Immerea, we are constantly driven to offer new and challenging perspectives on perception and interaction within the captivating realm of VR games with high artistic quality. As media artists, we thrive on exploring the intersection of experimental animation, immersive installations and hybrid performances, between physical and virtual realms. This talk focuses at the convergence of these two practices, where interdisciplinary approaches unlock new possibilities for both personal artistic expression as well as for the creative XR industries.
