Users can inspect every component of the multi-award winning production tool in VR and explore each of its bespoke functions via an interactive guided tour.As the BLACKBIRD® is currently based in LA, this immersive experience provides an opportunity for people everywhere to trial the technology, without the actual rig having to be present.
Users can choose from a range of models to build their own car in VR and select a piece of running footage to create a unique BLACKBIRD® experience.
