Marco & Polo Go Round

 
 

Marco & Polo Go Round is a narrative and cinematic real-time experience in virtual reality. The project features several innovative real-time approaches and technologies, including volumetric capture of actors, motion capture, as well as physics and fluids simulations.

The artistic direction, inspired in part by the style of artist David Hockney, required colossal work in modeling and textures and makes viewers feel like they are inside a three dimension, living, painting. The project was featured in the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival, Kaohsiung Film Festival, VR Golden Fireball Award (Taiwan), FNC / Horizon Award, Most innovative (Canada) IDEA Gold / Content and storytelling (Canada), Stereopsia / Best XR creative concept (Belgium), Guanajuato International Film Festival / Best Narrative Immersive  (Mexico) 360 BCN VR Fest / Best VR(Spain).
