AUGMENTED REALITY

Example: Towers Hill in WWII:
Earthstory created an AR App to bring a World War II heritage site to life with a walk-in virtual bunker, explorable virtual artifacts with pop-up information, and an outdoors life-size flyover of B-25 Mitchell Bombers! Visitors to the Towers Hill lookout shelter at Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia can discover and explore highly detailed 3D models and information, and even take a selfie as a WWII pilot or nurse! This outback heritage location has no electricity or other technology infrastructure available, so we designed tough anodised-aluminium site signage to activate the app's features on visitors' own Apple and Android devices.

VIRTUAL REALITY:

Earthstory's Custom VR Hardware:
Site-based VR attractions present several health, safety and security challenges, all addressed by our custom hardware's unique design features. Earthstory's exclusive VR hands-free hardware enables our industrial-strength headset housings to float weightlessly in position, enabling visitors to simply hold a headset against their face to enjoy fully articulated viewing.

Example: Merlin's Madame Tussauds "Sydney 2525":
Earthstory dived into 3DVR as an early adopter with what may have been the world's first themed attraction VR experience, with this immersive and engaging ride into the future.



Example: Highlands Motor Sport "Young Guns":
Earthstory AVX (Augmented Visitor Experience) created the 'Young Guns' Virtual Reality Experience for Tony Quinn's Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell, New Zealand - visitors take a virtual ride in a Ferrari 488GTB supercar around the famous Highlands track with their choice of world-class drivers such as 'Mad Mike' Whiddett, Hayden Paddon, Greg Murphy, Andrew Waite, Damon Leitch or Hunter McElrea. The 360 VR cinematography puts you right there in the passenger seat!

360-DEGREE VIDEO ENVIRONMENTS:

Example: Sea World Gold Coast "New Atlantis Leviathan":
parkz.com.au review:
“Leviathan is without a doubt the most impressively themed roller coaster this country has ever seen… the physical roller coaster experience is just half of the package… it is the themed experience that separates Leviathan from most other wooden roller coasters… it's one of the most cohesively presented areas we've seen in an Australian theme park in decades... the term world-class is thrown around all too often in this industry, but Sea World have pulled off a world-class audio-visual experience here. The Leviathan show is a remarkable feat, to be sure. And the creative and technical teams behind it should be endlessly proud of their efforts... it is without a doubt the best-produced ride show currently in Australia.”

THEATRE EXPERIENCES:

Example: "All Aboard":
Grey Nomad Awards Review:
“World class. Opulent. Technically brilliant. Stunning. And so not what I expected to find on this trip to Cunnamulla! ...a brand new world-class 3D show ...holographic, multi-media magic plays out across a 15-metre-wide screen ...and while there’s no way I’m going to spoil the fun by explaining all about Cunnamulla All Aboard, I will say that it is nothing short of spectacular. The 40-minute multi-media show produced by the globally-acclaimed Earthstory ...brings together an artful combination of wit with local and world history, plus a cast of endearing locals. Presented and narrated with aplomb by Steven Tandy as The Station Master, this ripper of a ‘ride’ about the rails had me chuckling within the first minute - and wiping away a tear in the last!“
Earthstory designed, wrote and produced this 'object theatre' mixed-media show for the Queensland outback town of Cunnamulla, to tell the tall but true tales of the 'end of the line'. Layers of real-world props, a railway-station set, AV footage and motion graphics all share the "object theatre" stage via progammed lighting and projections on a giant 13m x 2.5m semi-translucent screen.



Example: Dreamworld "Corroboree":
WorldMediaFestival | GOLD | TOURISM – Global Competition for Modern Media; Queensland Tourism Gold Award - Major Tourist Attractions; ACS Queensland Gold Award for Experimental and Specialised Cinematography; ACS National Golden Tripod; Premier's Reconciliation Award; Highly Commended - Reconciliation Partnership Award.
Earthstory conceived, wrote, designed and produced, in collaboration with Yugambeh consultants and performers, the stunning 10m x 3m 4K panoramic film “Creation of the Gold Coast” - a dramatisation of the local creation story. This attraction's digital media also includes a projected narrator who always faces you wherever you may view him from, an interactive map of Australia's 200+ indigenous language areas, animated Dreamtime stories, an interactive Aboriginal art colouring-in touchscreen, and subtitled footage of the Apology Speech. The ceiling of the interpretive theatre is home to a gigantic "Timeline Serpent" chronicling 80,000 years of indigenous living history, which is also internally lit with a programmable multicoloured lighting system that alters its appearance to synchronise with the surrounds and main audio-visuals in real-time.

GAMES:

Earthstory's development of bespoke on-site, on-brand games for attractions have ranged from simple touch-screen colouring games through to full-body gesture-controlled action experiences. Our deep understanding of user engagement and digital storytelling inform our gaming projects in ways that tease out the hidden potential and maximum value for our clients.
