Designing a historically accurate immersive experience.

Lunchtime Talks are a series of informal presentations at Watershed's Pervasive Media Studio. They normally take place at 13:00 on a Friday, are free and are open to everybody who is interested in what they do. Come along, bring a sandwich, and get to know more about the Studio community, current and up-coming projects, or residents' work.

Immersive Histories: Dam Busters is an immersive virtual reality prototype allowing audience to experience the famous ‘Dam Busters’ raid from a new and unique perspective. The experience surrounds the audience with a physical set, which in conjunction with virtual reality visuals, spatialised audio and haptic feedback completely transports audiences to the skies above the Möhne dam in 1943, aboard an Avro Lancaster bomber.

In this Lunchtime Talk Olie Kay from All Seeing Eye will talk about the process of researching and prototyping the work thus far, and share some of the remaining questions and ambitions for the project. Audiences will also have the opportunity to experience the prototype after the talk.

The Pervasive Media Studio is located within the Watershed building. Let us know if you'd like a tour and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to studio@watershed.co.uk.
