In this talk a team from Ars Electronica Futurelab gives a postmortem overview on their latest VR project which was realized for the "Deep Space", a huge L-Shaped virtual reality environment (wall and floor projection with approx. 16 by 9 meters each) for up to 200 visitors.

Learn what happens when latest VR hardware (8 Christie 4k projectors with 30 ANSI lumen each, renderworkstations running 4 Quadro M6000 each) meets Unity Engine with enhanced VR support in a classic stereoscopic distributed rendered VR environment.
