The Walled Off Hotel is a fully functional hotel created by artist Banksy in Bethlehem on the wall that separates Israel and Palestine in the occupied West Bank.
I was significantly involved in the production of the prototype for the VR experience with the same name “The Walled Off Hotel”. The hotel was first scanned on site in Bethlehem by some of my colleagues and the RC data was forwarded to me. This data was the basis for my models. For the VR experience, everything had to be remodeled because the RC data was much too highpoly and unclean but they function as a reference to model the rooms of the hotel as accurately as possible. I also used the photos to recreate some of the textures. The art team was very small and consisted of only two to three people.
The prototype runs on the Quest 1 and 2, but the following images are renderings from Blender.
