PROJECT
The former barkeeper from the legendary Hotel Astoria night club welcomes you with a drink and takes you on a journey through time to GDR of the 1980s: You enter the dancefloor from the lost place of today and continue into the year 1986 – velvet sofas, cigarette smoke, synthesizer, green cocktails. And the Stasi …
AstoriaVR reconstructs this legendary place, long since demolished, down to the last detail and thus brings it back to life. In the interactive app we experience a night in this night bar. Using Point&Click, we dance on the dance floor, listen to and overhear stories and conversations, discover objects from the past and create our own picture of the time. And the Stasi? It sits hidden in the corner and writes its reports …
The app is a combination of stereoscopic 360° CG-renderings with interactive elements, overlays, audios and stereoscopic footage of protagonists integrated into the environment for a mobile device, the Oculus Quest.

Der ehemalige Barkeeper der Nachtbar des legendären Hotel Astoria in Leipzig begrüßt uns mit einem Drink und nimmt uns mit auf eine Zeitreise in die DDR der 1980er Jahre: Aus dem Lost Place betreten wir die Edelstahltanzfläche oder sitzen auf samtüberzogenen Sofas: Zigarettenrauch, Synthesizer, grüne Cocktails. Und die Stasi …
AstoriaVR rekonstruiert diesen sagenumwobenen, längst abgerissenen Ort bis ins Detail und lässt es so wieder aufleben. In der interaktiven App erleben wir eine Nacht in dieser Nachtbar. Mittels Point&Click tanzen wir auf der Tanzfläche, hören und überhören Geschichten und Gespräche, entdecken Objekte aus der Vergangenheit und machen uns selbst ein Bild von der damaligen Zeit. Und die Stasi? Die sitzt versteckt in der Ecke und schreibt ihre Berichte …
Die App verbindet interaktive Elemente, Overlays, Fotos, Audios und streoskopische Realfilmaufnahmen mit vorgerenderten stereoskopischen 360° CG-Renderings auf einem Mobile Device (Oculus Quest).
