Venice City Tours

A cinematic 360° piece in five languages on AR glasses, a gondola you paddle yourself — and multiplayer racing in progress.

Overview

Two things worth separating. A cinematic 360° experience delivered on lightweight AR glasses, localised into five languages so an international group can each take it in their own — which is not a translation pass when the content is timed to a guide’s narration, because it changes pacing and how long the segment takes. And an XR gondola simulator where a participant paddles through a stylised medieval Venice while the guide carries on managing the group in the real world.

I am currently building a multiplayer gondola racing experience off the back of it, networked with Normcore: several participants in one shared scene, racing rather than taking turns. It is in development and nothing about it is deployed.
