I had an awesome time doing a photoshoot at Hi-Orbit Games - a cool retro arcade and immersive escape room in Twentynine Palms, California! 🕹️👾 Hi-Orbit Games is opening very soon.

Hook it Harder (Haptics) is now available for download.

It's built with samples from the Hooks Cycle of the Deep Dream State.

Each cycle is about an advertising phenomenon. Hooks is about jingles and songs you can't forget.

One jingle runs through the WHOLE cycle. Hook It Harder layers that into EDM. You don't need to follow the plot to get the hook.

The haptic version syncs the hook to buzz patterns, for a new level of immersion.

Beyond Flat Screens - The Rise of Anamorphic Experience

A high-impact anamorphic film by Shivam Immersive for the ADIPEC Exhibition & Conference — blending cinematic storytelling with precision motion to transform a large-format screen into a powerful illusion of depth, energy and innovation.

Creative Process & Concept Development

We began with a traditional creative process, developing detailed mood boards and storyboards to establish a clear visual direction and narrative flow. As the project progressed, we translated these ideas into a more technical execution phase by designing the booth environment in Blender.

This allowed us to accurately simulate the spatial layout and ensure that every frame of the anamorphic content was precisely aligned with the physical setup — achieving a perfect harmony between the digital and physical worlds.

The Key Challenge: Limited Viewing Distance

One of the key challenges in designing the anamorphic content for the PME booth was the limited viewing distance, as the audience pathway was positioned very close to the main screen. 

Since traditional anamorphic visuals rely on a distant, fixed viewpoint, this setup required a fundamentally different approach. We reworked the perspective by creating a close-range point of view aligned with the natural movement of people passing by, allowing the 3D illusion to remain effective even at short distances.

This ensured strong visual impact and engagement without requiring viewers to stop at a specific spot — a seamless experience for every passerby.

Reworking the anamorphic perspective for close-range, dynamic viewing angles maintained full 3D illusion impact without any fixed sweet spot.

Technical Specifications

For the curved screen setup, we were working with a significantly larger canvas than standard installations. This expanded scale gave us a much broader visual surface to work with, but also introduced the challenge of maintaining consistency, clarity and perspective across a wide curved format.

Team & Execution

This project was delivered through a tightly integrated team spanning multiple disciplines, ensuring a seamless execution from concept to final output. Every stage of production was aligned to deliver a cohesive, high-impact immersive experience.
