Description

The Shoebox Diorama is a one man company that creates interactive illustration for virtual reality devices.

History

Early history

Daniel Ernst is an interactive illustrator based in The Netherlands. After working in the game industry for multiple years he decided to put his research on storytelling through illusions and his love for everything 3D into practice and apply it to VR. This amalgamation resulted in an ongoing series of fantastical dioramas for virtual reality called The Shoebox Diorama. The series now consists of 'Blocked In', 'Der Grosse Gottlieb' and 'The Marchland'. His dioramas have a simple goal of inspiring a sense of wonder. Daniel is currently working on a full length diorama called Dear Pigeon Man.

What is a diorama?

‘The Shoebox Diorama’ is a series of interactive illustrations for VR devices. Each diorama is a fantastical hand painted environment in which interaction and environmental cues are used to tell a story and convey a sense of wonder. The dioramas can be explored as standalone experiences or as an interconnected experience through ‘Diorama No. 0 : Table of Contents’ which serves as a central hub.

Distribution Plans

All dioramas will be distributed on Steam through a The Shoebox Diorama Collection page. Each diorama will be sold separately and can be enjoyed through the free hub diorama ‘ Diorama No.0 : Table of Contents’.
