Challenge

Inspired by the director’s fascination with Leonardo Da Vinci’s figure and her discovery of VR potential to allow us to travel back in time, Leonardo Da Vinci started being crafted in 2021.

The main challenge was to achieve an immersive and enjoyable environment while trying to keep historical accuracy. Also, Leonardo Da Vinci VR is the first development of Stega VR, an independent group of developers and artists from the sunny Málaga in Spain.

Leonardo’s legacy has been an inspiration for older and new generations, and with this experience we wanted to approach his story and contributions in an interactive, fun, and accessible way while maintaining historical accuracy.

Recreating Leonardo's workshop has been quite a challenge. We wanted to ensure that anyone could enjoy being his apprentice for a little while.

Innovation

daVinci VR
Virtual reality enables us to embody historical characters or travel back in time to other historical eras and places. Through the type of agency interaction and embodiment that VR allows, we find innovative ways to make educational content. In addition, virtual reality supports players with various learning styles in gaining cognitive achievement. Our apprentice can be a man or a woman, a child or an adult, and with this inclusive approach we encourage diversity and accessibility.
