Machu Picchu and the Spirit of the Condor

Machu Picchu and the Spirit of the Condor is an cinematic immersive journey through the ancient citadel led by its founder the famed Sapa Inca Pachacuti. Using a Positron Motion Chair complete with haptic vibration and curated scents, audiences soar over the magnificent site, meet its inhabitants, and learn its rich history. The experience tours with the museum exhibit Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru, achieving a 60% capture rate and selling over $1 million in tickets in the first six months. To create the experience, our team was the first to capture the massive wonder of the world in full 3D. We then developed our VR film using animated characters, impressive visual effects, and a beautiful Incan soundtrack. Combining expertise across more than a dozen fields, our virtual tour of Machu Picchu showcased our technical prowess in an exhilarating experience for the ages and won the 2022 Lumiere Award for Best Use of VR.
