Twister VR at Brighton Pier

VR experience synchronised with a physical amusement ride

For Studio GOGO, we created a VR experience synchronised with the physical Twister ride on Brighton Pier. The virtual environment mirrors the motion of the real carousel, using the ride’s movement to amplify the sense of speed and presence inside the headset.

We created the environment and assets and contributed to Studio GOGO’s proprietary accelerometer-analysis framework. Extensive testing was central to the project, helping tune the relationship between real and virtual motion so the experience remained exciting while minimising the risk of motion sickness.
