Sessions
  • Tourist Sites and National Parks Embrace Location-Based VR for Time Travel + New Revenue Streams
    03:30 PM - 03:45 PM Jun 1
    Owlized is the first company to bring a virtual reality kiosk to a U.S. National Park. Visitors to the USS Arizona War Memorial at Pearl Harbor are now able to experience first-person views of the bombing from the edge of Battleship Row, as if they were standing there on that day in 1941. The project, produced in partnership with HDR for Pacific Historic Parks and National Park Service, introduced a host of novel creative and technical challenges which apply to all location-based outdoor VR deployments. What constitutes a "user session" when one VR kiosk sees hundreds of users per day? How does the content sync with the surrounding environment to produce truly "in situ" views of the historic condition? As an interpretive tool, how can historic information be included in a way that's both interactive and intuitive for a non-technical general audience? How can this platform scale to every historic site and tourist attraction in the world? This session will address how we tackled these questions and more, and explore what's next for location-based VR.
