Austin FC 360º VR Stadium Experience 

An immersive, navigable projection of Austin FC stadium inside an Igloo 6 meter cylinder. Users can control movement around a fully textured and rendered 3D virtual model of the stadium to see views from any seating area as well as special club zones. Used by the client as a sales tool prior to completion of the stadium.

  • Timeline: 5 months.

  • Deliverables: Unity build of a fully textured and rendered 3D model, with a hype pre-roll video, Igloo 6 meter cylinder, system hardware, and UX design for iPad controllers.

  • Challenges: Very short creative and dev timeline while design changes were underway by stadium architecture team, overheating issues with projectors, mismatches in projector mapping.

  • Solutions: Iterative development and reviews as design changes unfolded, specified, sourced and installed cooling system, worked with Igloo to fly in team for projector mapping corrections.

  • Result: Very happy clients, extremely helpful sales tool for ticket sales and a great hype moment for the client.
