What are the advantages of combining model boats and virtual reality (VR)?
The tangible introduction
- A precise miniature boat serves as a physical gateway into VR; the transition from real to virtual is visible and easy to understand.
- The model boat is deliberately used as an entry portal.
The portal principle
- The model boat is defined as the entry point in VR. When you “enter”, a virtual world opens up in its original size.
- The user experiences the boat from the inside – as if they were on board themselves.
- The VR experience is transmitted in parallel to a tablet or screen.
Real on the outside – virtual on the inside
In virtual reality, virtual markers (often called “hotspots” or “info points”) are placed in the scene. These points are invisible or discreetly visible and respond to the user.
1. Placement in virtual space
An access point is set at a specific location
(e.g. on the steering wheel, engine or sail of the boat).
It has a fixed position in 3D space.
2. Detection of user action
The access point responds when you:
- look at it (eye control),
- touch it with the controller,
- or point at it with your hand.
3. Triggering the content
As soon as the point is activated, the VR glasses display:
- Text/explanation
- Video
- Image or graphic
- Audio explanation
Why does it feel so real?
- Precisely synchronised head and body movements
- Consistent perspectives and scales
- Realistic lighting and shadows S
- patial sound (e.g. echo, water, materials)
- Virtually visible hands in the boat
The result
- The presentation is credible and emotional (“I’m in there.”)
- An impressive experience that convinces and stays in your memory
- All our products are delivered with a transport unit so that you can transport our products without any problems.
