VIRTUAL REALITY THEATRE

The WINE360 Virtual Reality Theatre will take wine lovers and wine enthusiasts on an immersive and captivating vinicultural journey to discover where, when and how South Africa’s undying love affair with wine began, where it is today and where it’s going - from its humble beginnings as a refreshment station for passing sailors to its success in international markets where South African wine is in high demand.
The WINE360 story will be screened in a virtual reality theatre with a 360 degree surround screen with revolving seats. It will be a must visit experience for every wine lover who will be fully immersed in the story and be transported into the vineyards at sunrise, be part of the harvest, hear stories from our top winemakers and virtually visit some of South Africa's iconic wine estates.
It will feature the winemakers, past and present, whose love and passion for the land, the vineyards and the wine making process has been key in growing and developing the wine industry in South Africa.

THE THEATRE EXPERIENCE
What will the experience be like in the theatre? It is best described as a shared virtual reality experience where, unlike putting on virtual reality goggles which is a private, individual experience, the theatre is more personal and you'll feel fully immersed and part of the story.
International drinks company, DIAGEO wanted to celebrate their 200 year old whisky, Lagavulin in a unique way and chose a shared virtual reality experience. The idyllic island of Ilsay, off the west coast of Scotland where Lagavulin is made is not on a regular tourism route and the aim was to recreate the experience of this remote part of the world. A combination of sounds, aromas and 360º video was used to transport guests around the Island, the distillery and Lagavulin bay, while they sampled a range of drams from the Lagavulin family. The fully immersive installation went on a world tour, starting in London, followed by events in New York, Miami, and Tokyo.

WINE360 PRODUCTION

The WINE360 story was filmed on a specialised high definition virtual reality camera rig consisting of 10 GoPro cameras each filming a separate section of each 360 panorama. The ten videos are then stitched and synchronised in post-production to create one seamless 360 degree high definition video.
The production includes motion graphics, animation and title sequences all produced in high definition virtual reality to a surround soundtrack.
The finished production is projected via multiple high definition video projectors which seamlessly projects the WINE360 story in the virtual reality theatre.
