What is 360° Virtual Puppetry

Experience theater through VR glasses in an artificial world with 360° film technology, in 3D, spatial sound and without applicable physical limits. We leave the frontal play and bring the story to life around you.

How it works

Tell us how many VR glasses including headphones you want, and we'll send everything to your home, school, or company party. You don't need anything except a (swivel) chair and a little freedom of movement.
