Perkons: A VR Rockumentary

Perkons formed in 1981 in Soviet Latvia. Their music was new, influenced by western rock and full of anti-Soviet metaphor. They became the voice of a revolution that led to Latvian independence in 1991. Using a blend of CG, archival photos, and illustration, we recreated a largely undocumented story in full VR.
