This is what we could call a real window to the virtual world of video games. Indeed, a company that is used to creating smart screens this time used a famous demo to impress us.

And the universe in which we are transported should appeal to many readers.

An epic feat!

Last December, Epic Games launched a demo on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Titled Matrix Awakens, it serves to highlight the many cutting-edge technologies used by the Unreal Engine 5 engine. Giving access to two distinct sections, this famous demo allows the player to roam freely in a city in an open world with photorealistic rendering. And it is precisely this part that was used for our invention of the day.

Not necessarily well known to the general public, the Japanese company Atmoph specializes in the design of false windows made from connected screens. These can broadcast an extremely clean image that will give the impression of being at the edge of the water, in the middle of a park, or even downright at the bottom of the ocean. To transport us around town, the Atmoph team used Matrix Awakens as a working tool.


A little trip into the matrix

The view shown in the video above was captured from selected in-game locations. Recording was taken by Petri Levälahti using Matrix Awakens. We then obtain a result that screams realism, since the city is alive, with in particular pedestrians walking around and vehicles parading there all day long. A rather impressive view of the roofs is also on the program.

Thus, the technologies and other engines involved in the design of a game can now go beyond this simple framework. The Atmoth Window 2 is capable of displaying over 1,200 original views from around the world. It has almost become unnecessary to leave home in order to travel.
