Virtual & Interactive
Built on premier gaming engine, Epic’s Unreal Engine and modeled (loosely) on historic city of Annapolis. This virtual experience is filled with first person interactions. We’ve also incorporated boats that sail into Ego Alley and populated the scene with interactive videos & shopping opportunities that are linked to either exhibitors’ websites or offering ecommerce onsite using an integrated Shopify store.
