There are many challenges in creating an interactive story from the largest cave on Earth. Most of them because of the fact that no one has ever attempted to create something similar before. When planning for the expedition to create #SonDoong360, we had no previous experiences to lean on. We had to invent the wheel for a massive production.
Most of all, we had to figure out how to properly light the largest (and darkest) caverns that exist on this planet. After lighting it, we had to capture gigabytes upon gigabytes of data to create the immersive 360 degree images we needed. All this while running around this wild terrain, inside the world’s largest cave in the middle of the Vietnamese jungle.
What could go wrong, right?
