Project Arena – A Developer Journey Webinar

Project Arena is a premium commercial VR experience that sets out to demonstrate and educate the VR developer community on how to produce large-scale VR projects. A real-world arena venue has been modeled and designed with AEC tools, and through a series of transformations brought to life in real-time VR experience. In addition to the physical scale of the experience, a real-time crowd simulation has been incorporated so as to enrich the experience by not making it a sterile, static environment. Together these enable Intel to demonstrate how Intel Core i9 processors are best suited to power this experience.

What You Will Learn:

  • The audience member shall learn about the Project Arena from inception to completion.
  • Learn about the tools – HW and SW – employed during its production.
  • Learn about the design and development challenges that were overcome to achieve scalability and performance.
