Wargaming’s Special Projects team deploys high-exposure XR projects at the intersection of heritage and gaming, leveraging World of Tanks (160million+ registered users). From life-sized AR tanks coming out of HoloLens portals into museums, to recent graphics-bending AR collab projects with History Channel & Google, I’ll discuss how this games company explores these new platforms a little differently: with a quick-turnaround & agile approach, for a massive gaming audience with a high affinity toward history. I’ll talk about the mass media coverage, the early blue-ocean partnerships, attracting rarified new media talent & mindshare, brand positioning, and the invaluable R&D exploration, all leading toward an increasingly ubiquitous commercial XR future.
