Going behind the scenes
A Waxeye case study
For most Aucklanders, what goes on beyond the red gates of Quay St remains a mystery. So Ports of Auckland thought they’d reveal it all with a 360 video. We created a VR video storyline that provided a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work there.

People don’t want to get down to the nitty gritty of port life, they just want the big picture stuff. So we focused on the size of the port, the specialist machinery and how much cargo goes in and out of the port every year. To bring everything together we used a custom-built, dual lens, 360 camera to capture footage that we then stitched together to create the final 360 footage.
Optimum viewing pleasure
For this event we used two Oculus Rift headsets and designed custom software to automatically play the video while the headset was put on, allowing the display to run all weekend with hardly any supervision.
