Powderham Castle & Higher Uppacott – VR & Fulldome.

Developed by: Musaab Garghouti using Unreal Engine 5 testing Nanite and Lumin.

Outputs: Dome production and Interactive VR experience.

 

Process:

Used 3d scans from the Artec Ray and Leo – Raw scans produced over 60 million polygons. The raw scans with no optimisation were used for the dome production – Such high poly models are usually hard to work with as they require high-end hardware and are time-consuming to manipulate. However, Nanite enabled rapid manipulation which significantly helped the process of building the environment.

Developed for the GOALD (Generating Older Active Lives Digitally) Project:

The GOALD project uses intergenerational groups to examine how to design and deliver digital resources to provide and engage older people in structured activity programmes with the aim of improving their health and wellbeing. The project examined how to design and deliver digital resources to provide and engage older people in structured activity programmes and improve health and wellbeing.
