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
