Virtual Reality (VR)

Step into worlds beyond imagination with Zubr’s VR experiences

Worlds you can’t reach anywhere else

With Zubr’s VR worldbuilding, you can offer users easy access to places and experiences otherwise impossible – whether drawn from history, imagined futures, or fantastical worlds:

Zubr’s virtual reality experiences transport audiences into fully realised environments that feel alive with detail and precision. Whether you want to journey through a historical reconstruction, dive into uncharted worlds, or safely explore challenging scenarios, our VR simulations create encounters so vivid you’ll be talking about them with friends for weeks to come.

By combining intricate 3D modelling with nuanced storytelling, Zubr builds immersive spaces where visitors can step inside the story, interacting with their virtual surroundings.

Why choose VR?

Zubr’s VR experiences are designed to create a sense of awe, intimacy and curiosity – feelings that keep users talking long after they’ve taken off the headset. For heritage, entertainment, or brand storytelling, detail is the difference: the more intricate the 3D scenes, the stronger the sense of presence, immersion and emotional connection.

For our Virtual Reality training simulations, we utilise advanced game engine 3D graphics to create navigable 3D worlds that mirror real-life environments with precision. This allows trainees to move, interact, and make decisions within scenarios that feel authentic and situationally complex. By recreating high-pressure scenarios in the controlled, safe virtual environment, we offer learners deeper insight and greater confidence before applying their skills in the real world.

Whilst AR Trails provide brief, varied glimpses into a story or place, VR experiences open the door to something far more immersive. By using tried and tested VR techniques, such as immersive soundscapes, high-fidelity 3D modelling, dynamic particle systems, and responsive environmental behaviours, we create consistently high-quality, richly detailed content: Diverse in theme, unified in excellence.

Accessibility and interactivity

Zubr’s VR experiences are designed to be intuitive, inclusive, and adaptable for audiences of all experience levels. By adjusting scale and perspective, we enable users to explore concepts that might otherwise be inaccessible, making our simulations ideal for education, research, and marketing applications. Our experiences are crafted to function without the need for chaperones, allowing users to navigate and interact with the environment independently, as demonstrated in projects like Capital Crime and Eden Project.

Whether permanent or temporary, installations can be tailored to reach the intended audience whilst providing the right level of engagement. Interaction can range from naturalistic exploration to carefully designed gamification, giving users the choice to simply observe or actively participate in the story.

For first time users, we can create calm, introductory environments that gently guide participants into the virtual world without overwhelming them – such as in the Atlantic Institute VR welcome experience. These thoughtful design choices enhance accessibility without compromising immersion, offering a linear, “on-rails” experience.

More indepth experiences – such as the immersive world of Museum of the Future, or interactive mini games in Queen’s cyber security training – provide advanced engagement for seasoned participants. Our gamified experiences offer meaningful interactions and narrative-driven challenges that deliver a unique sense of achievement and learning.

Users are encouraged to explore through simple interactivity, which creates organic, playful engagement opportunities.

With VR worldbuilding, the possibilities are endless.

FAQs

VR content refers to any type of immersive digital experience designed to be explored through virtual reality hardware. This can range from realistic 3D simulations and training environments to artistic storytelling and fully interactive worlds.

Unlike traditional media, virtual reality technology allows users to step inside an environment, interact with it, and experience it from a first-person perspective.

Virtual Reality is revolutionising numerous industries by offering immersive ways to engage, educate, and inspire. Sectors such as healthcare, urban planning, entertainment, and tourism are already leveraging VR to enhance learning, design, and storytelling.

Beyond, VR is also a powerful tool for building deeper connections and leaving lasting impressions – making it ideal for both academic environments and marketing initiatives that aim to captivate audiences in memorable ways.

At Zubr, we combine cutting-edge technology with creative storytelling to create immersive VR experiences. Our team uses advanced 3D modelling, animation, and interactive design tools to build environments that are tailored to our client’s goals.
Depending on the project, interactions can range from naturalistic exploration to thoughtfully designed gamification, allowing users to either observe their surroundings or actively participate in the story.

Zubr’s VR content stands out because it goes beyond entertainment – we design with purpose. Our projects are driven by data and insights, ensuring they have real-world relevance and measurable outcomes. We often collaborate with researchers, policymakers, and innovators to create VR experiences that inform decision-making, shift perspectives, and spark meaningful conversations.

Reach out to us via our website, and a member of our team will connect with you to discuss your vision, objectives, and how our VR content services can help. From there, we’ll guide you through the process, whether you’re looking to pilot a small project or develop a large-scale immersive solution. Our goal is to make the journey smooth, collaborative, and exciting.

The investment in VR content varies depending on the scope, complexity, and level of interactivity required for your project. For example, longer duration experiences will be more costly, and more complex approaches, such as a fully interactive 3D simulation would require a larger budget to produce than a simple 360° video experience.
