Project Redstone - Australia's First Built For VR Venue.
As the creative director at Inverse, and after acquiring a range of skills around fabrication and set construction whilst at Weta, I single handedly over 6 weeks and with $15k AUD budget, built Australias first made for VR streaming venue. Project redstone supports 3+ 8k Live stream VR Cameras, Projection Mapping, Full set and dtage front of House, all deploying to Web, Mobile, and VR through the Inverse Platform.
From an aesthetic perspective Project Redstone heralds back to the orginal purposes of the building relying on raw wood, black accents, and warm inviting lighting, the sense here is of a 1920's whiskey bar. Project Redstone was intialy mocked up in 3D as an early fast passed way of establishing the design, naturally throughout the build, key things changed or werent feasable in reality.
90% of all materials used where repurposed and originaly destined for land fill, Old pallettes, boxes, radios and hardware, all finding new life at Project Redstone.
Inverse conducted 18 Acts over 4 proof of Concept gigs and are now tracking to release the Beyond Boundaries Festival, 20 Artists to play in VR.
