Gibraltar VR project
8 de May de 2026
This project is based on an entertaining tourism experience centered on Gibraltar—featuring animations and 360° drone footage—that we developed for ECHO 360. Through the use of AI and historical storytelling, we transport the viewer across 40,000 years of history.
The experience is designed as a journey guided by Bárbara—a digitally created presenter—who accompanies the user from Gibraltar’s prehistoric origins to its contemporary identity. The goal was not merely to showcase iconic landmarks such as the Pillars of Hercules, the dawn of humanity, the modern crossroads, or the Upper Rock, but to craft an emotional and sensory experience that connects the viewer to the territory, its history, and its culture.
The narrative structure is built like a time capsule, with each scene employing a unique combination of visual and audio elements to reinforce the sense of traveling through time.
Present → Prehistory → Mythology → Islamic Period → British Gibraltar → Modern Gibraltar → Nature → Emotional Conclusion
One of the production’s key elements has been the integration of the virtual guide, Bárbara, into real environments captured in 360°. To achieve this, we combined cinematic drone aerial footage with ground-based 360° photography and video, applied perspective correction for immersive environments, and performed unified color grading across real and digital sources. Integrating Bárbara into various scenes adds a touch of humor and emotional warmth to the experience, fostering a connection with the story being told.
We are very pleased with the outcome of this experience and are confident that the historical reenactments we have developed—presented by our tour guide, Bárbara—will make the most significant events in Gibraltar’s history easy and enjoyable to understand.
