Project overview

A portable cinema for science, space and discovery.

The VR Science and Innovation Caravan was designed as a compact, repeatable public exhibition format: a six-seat mobile VR theatre with synchronized playback, headset hygiene flow, audience reception and a programme selected for a broad public audience.

Film XR handled the core immersive layer: curatorial selection, rights and licensing, preparation of master materials, Serbian-language voice-over where applicable, equipment planning, synchronized playback architecture and on-site technical execution.

Two public formats

From SILOSI to a traveling VR caravan.

The project combined a flagship Europe Day presentation in Belgrade, including interactive French VR works, with a modular touring 360° setup across multiple cities.

Europe Day VR Zone

The Belgrade presentation was part of the Europe Day programme under the message "Bolji smo zajedno / Better together", combining a synchronized 360° cinema with a separate interactive VR zone.

Science and Innovation Caravan

The touring format focused on the synchronized 360° programme, creating a recognizable audience experience in each city while staying technically compact enough to travel.

Belgrade programme

Two zones at SILOSI: 360 cinema and interactive VR works.

The Europe Day VR Zone included the synchronized 360° cinema programme and a separate interactive selection presented with the support of the French Institute: Biolum, Lady Sapiens, -22.7° and Notes on Blindness: Into Darkness.

Mobile VR theatre

Six synchronized seats, one shared public rhythm.

The technical design used Meta Quest 3S headsets with headphones and external batteries, synchronized through Showtime VR. Visitors sat in swivel chairs so they could naturally rotate through the 360° space while staff managed onboarding, hygiene masks, cleaning, charging and reset cycles.

Viewing

Quest 3S headsets

Standalone headsets, headphones and external batteries made the installation cable-light and easy to repeat.

Synchronization

Showtime VR playback

Showtime VR allowed staff to launch the same 360° work for multiple viewers at the same time.

Public flow

Reception and hygiene

Charging, one-time masks, cleaning materials and audience reception were treated as part of the experience design.

Comfort

Swivel chairs

Seated 360 viewing made the programme accessible to a wide public audience, including first-time VR viewers.

Programme catalogue

Science and space in 360°.
