Digital Catapult, the organisation focused on using deep tech to address the challenges and opportunities facing the UK's economy and society, asked the 1UP team to support their recent trip to Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.

In particular, they wanted to showcase their world-leading innovation labs to MWC attendees. We worked with the DC team to design and produce a fun and educational immersive tour for VR and web, letting potential partners from all over the world take a first-hand look around DC's cutting edge facilities, guided by the brilliant DC experts themselves.

Hundreds of MWC attendees took the tour, designed to give a taste of Digital Catapult's offer to the deep tech innovation community. The Meta Quest headsets on the stand instantly took visitors to Digital Catapult's London offices, where they were met with a variety of DC's pioneering innovation leaders, appearing as mini holograms to guide users around DC's industry-leading facilities.

And, having been built in PlayCanvas for both VR and web, the virtual lab didn't end with MWC, taking its permanent place on the DC website - take the tour for yourself here!
