Ports of Auckland
For most Aucklanders, what goes on beyond the red gates of Quay St remains a mystery. So Ports of Auckland thought they’d reveal it all with a 360 video. We created a VR video storyline that provided a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work there.
People don’t want to get down to the nitty gritty of port life, they just want the big picture stuff. So we focused on the size of the port, the specialist machinery and how much cargo goes in and out of the port every year. To bring everything together we used a custom-built, dual lens, 360 camera to capture footage that we then stitched together to create the final 360 footage.
For this event we used two Oculus Rift headsets and designed custom software to automatically play the video while the headset was put on, allowing the display to run all weekend with hardly any supervision.

How do you meet Santa in times of pandemic? You invite him into your home with the Santa augmented reality app from Countdown! Since 2020 was such a tough year, the supermarket giant decided to create a little joy for families and make a $5 donation to the Salvation Army for every photo shared on social media. Not to mention have some fun with family and friends along the way!
Auckland Transport
At Waxeye, we believe in the power of technology to make the world a better place. Our curiosity led us to partner with Auckland Transport, creating five engaging VR modules that help learner drivers master road safety and navigate common hazards.
