For this project with Dell, we were tasked to create an immersive VR experience that walked users through the central tenants of Dell’s Cybersecurity offerings. Our goal was to make it appear as if our booth had been hacked, and the VR experience was the attendee's chance to fend off the attack. We did this to stand out at a show like Dell Technologies World, where we were competing with many different high-energy booths and presentations.

Leveraging Unreal Engine’s new MetaHuman product, we decided to utilize human characters for the first time in a VR project at Fair Worlds. Character creation occurred in the very easy-to-use MetaHuman Creator. For animation, we pulled facial captures from our actors on iPhones with the Unreal Live Link Face app.

The VR experience begins with an innocuous presentation on Dell Cybersecurity offerings that quickly goes off the rails when a Hacker interrupts. We had several games built into the experience like "zapping" threats with a sci-fi laser gun or using a Tetris-like game where users had to replace the “corrupted” servers with digital backups.
