This feature-length interactive cinematic story tailored for Gundam enthusiasts, anime fans, and VR lovers alike, will offer a unique opportunity to dive deep into the heart of one of Japan's most iconic anime universes.
Silver Phantom is a pioneering VR narrative interactive experience at 90 minutes long that follows a bespoke storyline, fitting in a narrative timeline between two existing Gundam stories, Char’s Counterattack and Unicorn RE:0096, where the user takes on the role of Shavetail, a Mobile Suit test pilot for a mercenary group who is hired by the Earth Federation to track down Azumi Meggineh, an enemy spy for the Neo Zeon remnants.
With Hand Tracking support, this rich, interactive storytelling experience leverages the power of VR to create a unique and compelling narrative adventure, incorporating limited interactions (about 25% of the experience) that transition you into first-person mode and offer a number of light-level activities from simple actions like using a keypad to open a door, to using a wire gun to navigate through a mecha hangar, and more involved interaction like piloting a Gundam mecha and engaging enemies in battle.
In addition to the VR narrative experience, fans are also offered 2 MR add-ons:
💥 Battle Mode: Defend your IRL living space from invading mecha figurines using your own hand-held Gunpla (Gundam figuring). Pew-pew.
🤖 Gallery Mode: Browse a wide variety of Gunpla figurines and use them to access to a VR hangar portal where you can inspect the variety of shapes and sizes to in “real world” scale.
As Creative Producer, I collaborated with Developer, Atlas V, and Publisher, Bandai Namco, on concept, interaction, immersive storytelling techniques, and MR implementation .
