Red Bull: The Edge
X Studios • Red Bull • VR • Immersive Experience
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A photorealistic VR experience built around the life-or-death challenge of summiting the Matterhorn. The goal was to make guests feel the weight of the climb, not just watch it. Using real-world reference and capture techniques, the environment was built to hold up under the scrutiny of VR immersion, where every surface, every gust of wind, and every shift in spatial depth had to feel earned.
