Relaunching

Other Set

We bring immersive stories to audiences. Since 2018 that meant VR films. Now it also means characters you can talk to.

History

Where we started

Other Set began in the UK as a sales and distribution company for XR and immersive work. We looked for pieces that used the headset to say something a flat screen couldn't, and helped them find festivals, platforms and audiences.

  1. Other Set is founded by Andy Whittaker as an XR sales and distribution company.

  2. We acquire Vestige, a room-scale volumetric documentary, days before its world premiere in the Tribeca Film Festival's Virtual Arcade.

  3. Other Set relaunches to make and distribute immersive work built around character AI.

Vestige

Room-scale VR · volumetric capture · ~10 min

A journey through the mind of Lisa Elin after the loss of her husband, Erik Craighead. Set in a black void, fragments of their life together materialise as Lisa recalls them, captured live in a multi-narrative VR experience. Each viewing is different, because where you look triggers different memories.

RONE

360° film + interactive VR gallery

A portrait of the world-famous street artist. Follow Rone into an abandoned paper mill, a house set for demolition and a crumbling theatre, then into his studio and an exhibition of his work. Most of these murals and buildings have since been destroyed, so RONE is now the only way to experience them.

Wander a virtual gallery with an audio tour, step into the orb to start the 360° documentary, and unlock new rooms of art and films afterwards.

What we're doing now

Immersive film taught us that presence matters more than resolution. Character AI adds a voice that answers back. The new Other Set brings the two together.

Characters you can meet

Talking characters you can sit with in a headset, in the browser or on your phone.

New life for immersive films

Bringing earlier VR work to today's headsets and to WebXR, where rights allow.

Partners and festivals

Sales and distribution for creators making immersive and AI-driven stories.
