Tourvest Victoria Falls Oculus Quest Virtual Reality Game

We were contacted by Tourvest South Africa to create a Virtual Reality solution for them.

Tourvest Victoria Falls Virtual Reality

We were contacted by Tourvest South Africa to develop a extreme sports experience for them. We wanted to take travelers who are looking for extreme real life thrills and experiences to these venues in Virtual Reality to give them an idea of what the experiences would be like without needing to physically be at the venue.

The Victoria Falls Virtual Reality game experience we developed for Tourvest would start players on the banks of the Zambezi River. In front of the player we added some custom branding all around the Virtual Reality World these players are in. This included two rental cars parked in front of the player.

All of this was designed for the Oculus Quest VR Headset.

We used one of the real car models which HERTZ rents to make the game more realistic and to offer the clients more exposure by adding in game branding.
