We developed a high-end Virtual Reality Experience for DSTV South Africa. DSTV is the Largest Pay TV Service in Africa. They wanted to show people at events in virtual reality what it is like to own Box Office. Instead of creating a living room at the events with Real Furniture, Real DSTV equipment and Real Televisions they wanted it all in Virtual Reality.
Part of the brief was to showcase the 5 devices on which you can watch DSTV. They also wanted to show 5 places where you can watch DSTV.
“We would like to invite you to our offices for a demonstration of the Virtual Reality applications that we have developed. Viewing virtual reality in 2D doesn’t tell the whole story especially high-end 6DOF virtual reality where you can walk inside Virtual Reality, touch stuff in Virtual Reality and experience it as if it is real!”

The Virtual Reality Brief
- Instead of using Real Props at the Events they wanted to create a Virtual Reality environment where people could view DSTV in Virtual Reality.
- The client provided us with the various BoxOffice Trailers clients could view in the Virtual Reality experience.
- They wanted to showcase 5 products on which clients can watch DSTV and BoxOffice on:
- Laptop
- Tablet
- Smartphone
- Television
- Computer
- They wanted to show that you can watch DSTV anywhere so we created 5 places where clients could go to in Virtual Reality to watch DSTV.
- While using Public Transport. We created a City Scene with a Bus from where people could watch DSTV in the Virtual Reality experience.
- While at work. We created a office environment from where people could watch DSTV in the Virtual Reality experience.
- Hotel Room. We created a Hotel room from where people could watch DSTV in the Virtual Reality experience.
- Home – We created a awesome home from where people could watch DSTV in the Virtual Reality experience.
- Some dark humor, we created a Bathroom showing that people can watch DSTV even when they are on the toilet.
Clients could watch DSTV and BoxOffice in various locations. Above is a screenshot of Unity and the classroom office conveying the message that you can watch BoxOffice anywhere.
