Titanic VR Announced
September 12, in the year of our Lord 2017 –
Waterford, IRELAND – Immersive VR Education Ltd. have announced
their educational experience/game, ‘Titanic VR’, will be
released in the coming weeks. It will be playable on Desktop PC,
Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation Virtual Reality headsets.
Diving to the bottom of the North Atlantic, the player takes on
the role of Dr. Ethan Lynch, Associate Professor of Maritime
Archaeology at the fictional University of Nova Scotia. With
funding from a mysterious investor, Dr. Lynch and his PhD
Candidate Jean Robinson have set out aboard a research vessel to
dive the wreck and answer questions that have remained submerged
for a century.
Complete bonus missions such as rescuing a lost ROV, creating a
photo mosaic, placing research equipment, and working with a
world-famous Director. Clean and preserve recovered artefacts,
upgrade your ROV, and learn all there is to know about this
infamous wreck.
“We’ve used comprehensive maps to create a realistic 3D model of
the wreck site. We used motion capture, face-scanning technology
and professional voice actors to immerse users in the story. We
wanted to create an accurate portrayal of events so that it is
not only educational, but also emotionally engaging.” - David
Whelan, CEO Immersive VR Education Ltd.
This educational experience is set in the near future, but
explores a more-intact 1985 model of the wreck. Players will
have an option to follow the storyline, or purely explore in a
sandbox mode. This is a hands-on experience, with players
required to navigate around and inside the wreck using their
submersible and ROV. This experience is designed for room space,
but is also suitable for sitting space, and monitor mode.
This is also the first released section of Titanic VR, with an
animated 1912 experience being released later this year. In the
1912 animation, players will witness key events through the eyes
of a survivor. It is a historically accurate recreation of
events, based on eye-witness testimony and substantial research.
Players will leave with a deeper understanding of this historic
and tragic event.
