The experience features XR Immersive Tech's proprietary Uncontained/OS automation platform to control a wide range of immersive props, turning an originally vacant room in Ramsay's studio into a futuristic hotel aboard a space station. The Unity game engine driven digital experience is integrated into multiple screens, reacting to Ramsay's progress throughout the experience. Set in the UNCONTAINED Deep Signal game universe, Ramsay is tasked with solving a series of puzzles and challenges in order to defeat an artificial intelligence named ACE--who has gone rogue.
Accompanying the release of the video is a limited edition at-home experience also designed by the XR Immersive Tech team. The experience features custom Ramsay cards, booklet and a mobile app escape experience which fans can purchase today from his online store. With over 30 videos featuring Ramsay, fans can play along while enjoying the exclusive video content with their very own at-home standalone experience to help Ramsay solve the mystery.
Ramsay says, "It was amazing working with the Immersive Tech team. They took a vague concept I had around my love of space and technology, and turned it into a complete adventure, with unique interactions and storytelling--right here in my studio. The at-home companion experience serves to give my fans an opportunity to experience some of that adventure for themselves."
Tim Bieber, CEO of the Company states, "We were thrilled to have been able to work with Chris on this unique project which took advantage of the company's attractions building experience and our Uncontained/OS control platform that our customers love for easily building next-gen immersive experiences."
