A Space Built For Original Work.
VS Immersive is a blackbox venue in East Belfast with good power, good infrastructure, and direct access to the VSS primary warehouse next door. Every asset the studio owns is within 20 metres of the space.
That proximity is the point. VS Immersive operates as both a hireable venue and an internal R&D space. The work that eventually ships internationally gets built and tested here first.
Corporate launches, brand and product shoots, immersive installations, R&D residencies. Each activation gets a bespoke configuration designed and delivered by the VSS team.
PYRA was developed here. The L-ISA spatial audio infrastructure was installed and tested here. The bidirectional workflow between visual programming and spatial audio positioning that defines the PYRA experience was refined in this space before the installation went anywhere else.
An original installation.
PYRA is a tourable immersive installation designed to deploy on standard rental equipment. The constraint was deliberate. Most immersive installations require bespoke infrastructure that limits where they can go. PYRA was engineered from the start to work in venues that already exist.
The installation uses L-Acoustics L-ISA spatial audio across 18 channels of Dante. The speaker system is mapped in three dimensions. Sound moves through the space in relation to the visual programming, not alongside it. The score is original, composed by Ryan Vail.
The visual and audio programming were developed in a bidirectional workflow. Visual content loops were created and fed to Ryan Vail for spatial audio placement refinement. Everything locked to time code. The result is a system where the sound and the light are designed as a single experience rather than two departments working in parallel.
