HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

In association with The Unicorn Preservation Society and Drake's Legacy we are proud to present the HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum project. Our goal with this project is to create an interactive and 'living' ship that can be explored using VR devices such as the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and more.

The model for the HMS Unicorn is being built in-house by our very talented modeler Christian Tornholm-Lehn for both the VR Museum project as well as the project Hearts Of Oak: Conquest of the Seas. Due to the detail of the model needed for both a museum quality replica and use for gaming it will be one of the most accurate 3d ship models made to date. Because the real HMS Unicorn is 'in ordinary', meaning it has a house over the deck and does not have rigging, we are using the sister ship HMS Trincomalee as the base of the rigging portion. Both are Leda class ships, with minor variations in design so the rigging should be extremely similar.

This is still a very early build (around 40% complete) that only has some of the basic features in place. The final build will be much more like a museum with some interactive displays and information placards to learn more about the ship and life aboard in the age of sail.
