artVenture [Vienna] has launched the indiegogo crowdfunding campaign (
http://www.indiegogo.com) for "Giger's Universe". Starting today, fans of H R Giger
can participate in the bringing to virtual life a monument dedicated to the Oscar winner
and creator of Alien.



Tribute to H R Giger



What was previously seen only in the Giger Museum in Gruyeres, is soon to be available
as a 3D virtual museum tour ready made for PC/MAC and app reconstructed in faithful
likeness of exhibits at the Giger Museum. Global fans have the option to experience the
Giger Museum "first hand" as well as "Giger's Universe", a virtual monument to a great
visionary.



Regarding the functionality of the virtual museum, artVenture is set on interactivity:
visitors have the opportunity to walk virtually through the whole museum. Special 3D game
technology, zoom functions and other features ensure a unique experience factor is to be
had. All artworks/objects can be viewed "live" by the visitor - as if one were really
there at that spot. In addition, interested parties are to receive a lot of additional
information.



The idea of "Giger's Universe" started in 2006. The artist himself supported the
project during his lifetime.



GigerMuseumin3D Game Technology



This project will digitize the entire museum with the latest 3D laser scanning
technology, enhancing the objects through complementary use of original textures inherent
to the objects, thus becoming the basis for the "living" museum. In the case of
overfunding, further production steps are planned. In the pipeline are, for example, a
short documentary, and 3D tours of both the Giger Bar in Gruyeres and Giger's private
garden.
