A project we created for Caviar and Bull, a fine dining restaurant in Budapest. The “Uncensored Experience” is an immersive, multi-sensory chef’s degustation dinner running from 2020. Hidden behind secret doors, the exclusive ten-table speakeasy wraps its guests in 360-degree 3D video mapping and authentic music, taking them on a culinary journey around the world, with the theme changing every twenty minutes.

The room is covered by high-definition projectors mounted in the ceiling, blended into one continuous 360-degree image. A media server warps the picture around the architecture of the room with digital masks, so each scene changes seamlessly, in sync with the music and the timing of the service.
