Transforming real-world cycling journeys into immersive virtual experiences through 360° technology, featuring the historic Galle Fort and scenic Gregory Lake in Nuwara Eliya.
GLOBAL360X collaborated with the University of Moratuwa's UOB Lab, with the sponsorship of Dialog Axiata, to develop an immersive VR Cycling Experience featuring two distinctive destinations in Sri Lanka — the historic Galle Fort and the scenic Gregory Lake in Nuwara Eliya.
The project was designed to bring real-world cycling journeys into Virtual Reality, allowing audiences to experience the surroundings from a cyclist's perspective through immersive 360° video technology.
Rather than simply watching a conventional cycling video, viewers can look around and explore the environment, experiencing the journey from within the virtual environment.
Discover Sri Lanka from a cyclist's perspective through two immersive 360° VR experiences — the heritage surroundings of Galle Fort and the scenic beauty of Gregory Lake in Nuwara Eliya.
Discover the historic atmosphere of Galle Fort through an immersive 360° VR cycling experience. Filmed around this recognised heritage destination, the production captures its historic streets and distinctive architectural surroundings from a cyclist's perspective.
Explore the scenic surroundings of Gregory Lake through an immersive VR cycling journey. Filmed around the lake, this 360° production brings viewers closer to the natural beauty and atmosphere of Sri Lanka's hill country.
Developed by GLOBAL360X in collaboration with the University of Moratuwa's UOB Lab and sponsored by Dialog Axiata, the project combines academic innovation, industry support and professional immersive media production.
“Experience the Ride. Explore Sri Lanka.”
Immersive VR Cycling Experience · Galle Fort & Gregory Lake
Virtual Reality opens new possibilities for experiencing outdoor activities, destinations and real-world environments. Unlike conventional video formats, 360° VR allows viewers to explore their surroundings by changing their viewing direction, creating a greater sense of presence within the experience.
Galle Fort represents Sri Lanka's historical and architectural heritage, while Gregory Lake introduces the scenic beauty of the central highlands. Together, these experiences demonstrate how 360° technology can connect people with different environments through a single immersive platform.
This project represents another step in exploring the possibilities of VR for tourism, education, digital exploration and experiential media.
The Immersive VR Cycling Experience was developed and produced by GLOBAL360X, combining 360° cinematography, Virtual Reality production and creative visual storytelling to transform real-world cycling journeys into immersive digital experiences.
Through collaborations with academic institutions and industry partners, GLOBAL360X continues to explore how immersive technologies can transform real-world activities, destinations and experiences into something audiences can enter, explore and remember.
