BEAUTY&YOU by The Shilla Duty Free is a store situated in Hong Kong International Airport. Weald Creative were briefed by GP Studio in London to create a Virtual Reality visualisation that would be sent to Hong Kong so the architects and client could get a feel for the space.
The 3D studio provided 8k 360 renders for various locations across two main areas. We built a Unity app that used simple gaze mechanic to navigate between the locations by looking at hotspots.
At the time the only viable hardware solution was a Samsung phone attached to a Gear VR headset. We had to hack the software to increase the graphics quality and allow for much larger texture sizes, so it was running a little hot! After some time testing, we were confident the phone wouldn't explode and we shipped it off.
The client was delighted with the results.
