Liven Up Your Castle Visit: A Virtual Reality Adventure Awaits!
Cooperative Experience: Recreating the Chronicles of the Chouans through a Game of Escape
Stepping into the Chateau de la Rouerie - a spectacular 17th century castle - is no ordinary tour these days. Thanks to a collaborative project with students from Arts et Métiers Laval, the last Marquis's fascinating tale is set to thrill visitors once more. Say goodbye to traditional tours and embrace an immersive, interactive, virtual collaborative escape game! With room for four players, you'll feel like a hero of the American War of Independence and founder of the Brittany Chouannerie yourself!
Time-Traveling History with a Virtual Game
Conceived as part of their senior project, SARL SAUT-DE-LOUP, the castle's managers, are at the helm of this exciting venture. Through the game, you'll relive significant moments of the Chouannerie movement's history. The adventure involves finding a hidden letter, acquiring weapons, and taking down revolutionaries. Your arms will ache from the gripping experience - but it's the manipulation of objects via the Oculus Touch that solves the enigmas! Embarking on a stormy Channel voyage, you'll commandeer a gunpowder cannon and engage in battle with enemy ships, taking the excitement to a whole new level!
Bringing History to Life: Realism at Its Best
The game's realistic scenery and characters have been painstakingly created. The castle rooms have been extensively scanned, retopology work carried out under 3DS MAX, avatars are modeled after historical busts, paintings brought to life via CrazyTalk, and authentic dialogue recorded using Audacity. A captivating and informative narrative guides you throughout the experience.
Research demonstrates that virtual reality offers a powerful tool for heritage valorization, fostering a stronger sense of engagement than a regular visit. As you explore the castle under a headset, new knowledge is more easily absorbed, making for an unforgettable experience!
Diego Barbier de Chalais, the castle's owner, is awestruck by the game's remarkable reconstruction of settings and characters. The virtual experience will be set up in a dedicated room near the reception area with booking available directly through the website. So, don your VR headset, and prepare to be transported into a bygone era!
