Working directly for Octopus Energy, Visualise worked on a number of initiatives to help Octopus connect closely to the public and demonstrate the real impact of their turbines on the environment and locality.

There were a number of aspects of this project:

1. We captured one of their wind turbines in a stunning rural setting in Wales. The purpose of the capture was to show people what it is really like to be near a wind turbine. The reality of how it looks and crucially – sounds. This was built in to a VR experience
2. We produced an augmented reality experience to show this turbine to be placed on a tabletop and allow people to explore it’s features. Even entering the 360 video videos from ground level.
3. We captured 360 video views driving up to and around the new proposed turbine sights. These films allowed people to see what their local area would look like at key positions and journeys. The entire films were narrated by locals explaining the key project aspects and concerns.

The different perspectives were combined with ambisonic audio captures from the same moments. Once in a VR headset, people would be able to feel completely transported to the locations and to fully understand the potential impact to their own locality should there be a wind turbine.

Visualise also captured a scene from Alexandra Palace and worked with our VFX team to edit a wind turbine in to the shot. This would allow Octopus to show potential stakeholders how the turbine would look and feel if the project was given the go ahead.
