xRez VR Project For National Park Service
The studio also made a VR project for the National Park Service in 2010 using early tracked gaming headsets to simulate a flight in a Wright Brothers aircraft. xRez team recently re-rendered this film at much higher resolution, high frame rate, and in stereo with a new generation of hardware.
“Flight Viewer” was made for the National Park Service’s Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park visitor center in Dayton, Ohio. Utilizing earlier CGI assets made for the visual effects sequences from “On Great White Wings”, the park’s centerpiece film on the history of the Wright Brothers, xRez Studio has created a way for visitors to experience the flight of an early aircraft while visiting the actual field used by the Wrights Brothers for flight testing.
Utilizing computer gaming tracking headsets and interactive spherical animation, a park visitor can chase after and ultimately pilot a Wright 1905 aircraft during a 3 minute flight simulation on-location at the field, enhancing their appreciation of the site and it’s pioneering history.
