Crobar - Preserved in VR

In 2020 the world-famous, heavy metal drinking venue in the heart of London closed its doors – beaten by a global pandemic and the greed of London’s landowners. An iconic place that once served drinks to famous musicians and their fans is now just a distant, drunken memory… …until Craig Tuohy of The Flow State XR and good friend to the owner of The Crobar jumped in, just as the doors were being closed, to photograph every inch of the place. Craig’s vision - a digitally preserved venue visited in virtual reality or from a mobile phone. Armed with 1,000 photos and the original carpenter’s floor plan Yes My Lord Ltd set about rebuilding The Crobar. Simon Kotowicz used Autodesk's 3DS Max to model the 3D environment whilst Daria Dabal used Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to extract texture maps from photos. Between them they calculated and estimated measurements and worked their way through the building, until every corner was covered.
