Team Torchbearer is developing a cooperative narrative game for the Cavern system, where players find themselves touring the same city as strangers.
The Cavern is a 270° curved projection screen with a 20-foot-wide that uses stereoscopic 3D to create a virtual environment. Currently, the Cavern is limited to rendering the world from just one perspective, limiting its capabilities for multiplayer stereoscopic 3D experiences. Because of this, the team is developing a new multi-perspective rendering technique that allows players to see the same object from their correct perspective.
The project’s goal is to use this technology to immerse players in an intimate story. Players will be able to interact physically with each other and the environment through virtual items. Every element of this experience is designed to evoke a sense of connection between players.
