The Jordan Museum - VR Experiences

RHODIAN AMPHORA & DESERT BADIYA

RHODIAN AMPHORA

Eyen Design is a branding agency in Amman, Jordan. They are currently renovating and rebranding the Jordan Museum, in hopes to create a more interactive and educational space for visitors. Eyen Design offered me the opportunity to create an immersive experience to be showcased at the museum to highlight the Rhodian Amorphae, in place of the current exhibition setup for this artifact (as seen on the image below).

The experience I created transports museum visitors to a breezy desert landscape, inspired by Jordanian deserts, by simply putting on a virtual reality headset.

Visitors will find themselves placed onto the hump of a camel By looking from side to side, they will be able to see the Rhodian Amorphae hanging from either side of the camel as they ride between the sand dunes and rocky mountains.

The desert landscape was inspired by the wave like sand dunes and calming sunsets one witnesses in Wadi Rum. The rocky mountain walkway was inspired by the narrow road that leads to Petra.

I was able to 3D scan the artifact via photogrammetry. The images were processed on the Agisoft PhotoScan software. The scene was assembled on Unity and built onto the OculusGO.

DESERT BADIYA


The second experience places museum visitors into a badiya, a traditional bedouin tent under a starry night sky. This VR experience is a pitch and is being developed further to embody the true essence of being seated in an authentic bedouin home.

Additionally, 3D scanned artifacts and props will be included in the space to elevate the experience.
