An immersive series of 360° VR experiences created to bring audiences closer to the people, operations and specialised capabilities behind one of Sri Lanka’s most important institutions.
To commemorate the 160th Anniversary of the Sri Lankan Police, I created a series of immersive 360° VR experiences through GLOBAL360X, bringing viewers closer to the people, operations and specialised capabilities behind one of Sri Lanka’s most important institutions.
Rather than simply documenting the celebrations, the project was designed to let audiences experience the action from within.
Through dedicated VR productions, viewers can step into situations that would normally be difficult or impossible for the public to experience firsthand.
Explore different perspectives of mounted policing, specialised motorcycle skills, rope operations and tactical response through immersive VR.
Experience a unique perspective of the Mounted Police Division through a 360° VR horse-riding experience filmed around Port City Colombo. The viewer is placed within the movement and atmosphere of a mounted police operation.
Experience the speed, precision and control of the Special Task Force motorcycle team. The 360° perspective brings viewers closer to the movement and intensity of the performance.
Step into the perspective of an STF operator descending from a high-rise building using ropes. Experience the height, movement and operational environment through immersive 360° video.
Go inside a high-intensity emergency building raid operation, experiencing the movement, coordination and atmosphere of a tactical response from an immersive VR perspective.
For this project, GLOBAL360X produced a series of VR videos, bringing together different aspects of Sri Lankan Police capabilities and heritage.
“Don't just watch what they do. Experience it.”
The objective behind the project.
This project represents how VR can transform institutional storytelling. Police operations, specialised training, public demonstrations and heritage can be presented not simply as footage on a screen, but as immersive experiences that place audiences inside the environment.
For me, this project was another opportunity to explore how 360° technology and VR can create experiences that traditional media cannot easily reproduce.
From tourism and education to defence, public services and cultural heritage, the possibilities of immersive storytelling continue to expand.
The 160th Sri Lankan Police Anniversary VR Experience was developed and produced by GLOBAL360X, combining immersive 360° production with creative visual storytelling and emerging XR technology.
As Founder & Managing Director of GLOBAL360X, I continue to explore how VR, XR and immersive media can be applied to real-world environments — turning important places, people and experiences into something audiences can enter, explore and remember.
