"With Ascenders, I bet on a dreamlike and contemplative journey without the slightest teleportation in VR.
With oversized scales as far as your eyes can see, users will be transported to a world they can walkwith their own feet in an odyssey that isboth metaphorical and poetic."
Jonathan Astruc, VR Director
@BackLight

One of BackLight studio’s trademarks, free-rooming is the contraction of Free-Roaming and Roomscale. On a small space, and thanks to planeshifting, we give people the illusion to move on very large surfaces, without ever using teleportation. A manufacturing secret developed in other story-living creations of the studio such as ECLIPSE (Mostra 75 Official Selection) or Le Bal de Paris de Blanca Li (Mostra 78 Best VR Experience), both available in OZ Experience catalogue.
