The project started as an experimental documentary format commissioned by Sky’s ‘Innovation & AI’ team to show the concept of multi-platform delivery across immersive platforms & the new ‘Sky Live’ TV’s which allowed ‘Kinect style’ interactions with head tracking and gestures.
This ground-breaking format showcases the evolution of immersive documentary, bringing ‘VR without headsets’ to the immersive genre, offering a fresh opportunity to engage with audiences.
For the Artemis Generation…
A first of its kind documentary with ‘islands of Interactivity’ that allow the audiences to dig a little deeper. The documentary takes us behind-the-scenes in NASA’s Firing Room ONE to follow NASA launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson in the biggest story of our generation: Landing the first woman on the Moon.
It’s no coincidence that this new era of lunar exploration is called Artemis, named after the twin sister of Apollo and the Goddess of the Moon.
This interactive experience, like the Artemis mission is not just about one woman’s boots on the lunar surface, it’s about the women who built the rocket, the women who are leading Mission control and the women ensuring a safe human landing.
The 25-min documentary focuses on this female angle to showcase the connections and passions behind the science, following the personal stories and brilliant minds of those working on the Artemis program.
Islands of interactivity
The animated dioramas are short (20 sec to 60 sec) interactive scenes that play in sync with the documentary giving context to the location or mechanics of the Artemis Mission.
Optimised for the Oculus Quest 2, we use 3D re-enactments of the key moments in the build up to Launch and the 25 day, 1.5 million mile journey the Orion capsule took to the Moon and back.
This is a first-of-its-kind documentary format, offering a unique combination of TV documentary and interactive (VR & AR) technologies.
