Toyota Marine World was a specially built virtual booth that we planned and produced. It was requested by Toyota Marine for the largest boat show in Japan — the Japan International Boat Show 2021.

We accurately recreated each of these three boats as a 3D model on a 1:1 scale and showed our VR production prowess by creating the a great user experience and modeling the boats with a balance between the technical limitations and high-quality design.
