Time Travel Experience

Time Travel Experience is a mixed-reality experience built for the Apple Vision Pro and experienced in a pop culture icon the DMC-12 Delorean. The project was created for E.ON and is on permanent public display in the entrance lobby of E.ON Haus, Berlin, Germany.

Time Travel Experience takes the audience on a journey through the history of energy, warping them across four eras: Coal (1925), Oil (1973), Solar (2026), and Recycled (2050). The experience begins when the participant places their hands on the steering wheel and initiates the warp sequence by pushing forward the virtual lever.

Scene one is set in 1925 Berlin, an industrious city filled with smoke. Steam trains pass by with wagons overflowing with the scene's central character: Coal.

Scene two drops into the roaring seventies. Abundance is everywhere, roads packed with cars, skies busy with aircraft. Oil has transformed the city, but the cost is starting to show.

Scene three shifts to the present, where renewable energy sources like solar power are reshaping daily life. Electric vehicles have begun to replace traditional fuel-based transport, and a cleaner future feels within reach.

Scene four imagines the near future: a world where nothing is wasted, energy is reclaimed from discarded materials, and the heavy pollution of previous eras is a distant memory.

Generative AI tools shaped much of this project's production: from 3D props and textures that ground each scene in its era, to voice lines for the characters that inhabit them.
