Taran3D Bring Perry The Mascot To Life!

In 2021, we were excited to work with the Birmingham2022 Commonwealth Games to bring Perry the mascot to life!

As a leading 3D and XR studio, we were tasked with bringing Perry, the game’s mascot, to life through animation and immersive technology. The aim of this project was to create a lifelike animated version of the already brilliantly created Perry. Ensuring he could be viewed online and through a specially created Instagram filter.

BeBoldBeBirmingham Podcast

Taran was recently invited to take part in Birmingham City Councils’ BeBoldBeBirmingham podcast.

This special podcast series was devised to shine a light on the beating heart of Brum in the run-up to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Hosted by Melzy J and Ben Kane, BeBoldBeBirmingham provides the perfect platform to showcase a diverse mix of Brums finest voices.

Taran joined Clayton Shaw from STEAMhouse to discuss the importance of technology and innovation. STEAM and how they feel each discipline compliments each other.

We were delighted to get the opportunity to be on the podcast. Taran3D has a close affinity with Birmingham 2022 having worked on the AR version of Perry the mascot in 2021.

We were thrilled to be involved with Birmingham 2022 on such an exciting project. The team loved working on the app and seeing it show our expertise in immersive tech to a global audience.

With Birmingham 2022 just around the corner, it’s time for our city to be loud & proud! If you haven’t already, check out the BeBoldBeBirmingham podcast here.
