The interior of an opera house in 3D with rows of seats facing the stage, a seat selection tool

VR Seat is one of the projects I am happiest to see recognized, because it solves a real problem: a flat seat map never shows what the night will actually look like.

The moments #

  • October 2022: it appeared on the three.js homepage, together with three other projects of mine.
  • January 26, 2023: it received an Awwwards Honorable Mention as "VR Seat - 3D experience" (see the whole timeline).

What was being celebrated #

It is middleware between ticket buyers and venues: cinemas, theaters, schools, stadiums. You step into an opera house, choose a seat and see the stage from that exact point of view. A layer of spatial audio shifts the sound with distance, so you also hear how the room behaves from your seat.

I told the technical and product story in the launch post. The tool is live at vrseat.vercel.app, and the details are on the project page.
