Virtual Content Group (VCG) and VR-Educate announced the co-production of an interactive VR version of the famous Three Kingdoms novel. The experience will take the viewer right in the middle of one of the most epic tales in Chinese culture. Production will be a collaborative process between VCG’s Paris office, who has previously been awarded by the International VR Society for their outstanding 3D 360 CGI skills, and VR-Educate’s head office in Hong Kong.

Lanny Huang, Founder and CEO of VR-Educate added, “We’re excited to announce this co-production with one of the leading VR companies in the world. The story has been requested by many of our customers which includes schools and school kids in 6 Asian countries.”

The two companies have collaborated on smaller-scale co-productions and content licensing before. Torsten Hoffmann, CEO of Virtual Content Group added “Our Company with operations in Germany, France and Australia is perfectly suited for international co-productions and we look forward to develop this experience with our Asian partner. Many of our American and European customers have already expressed interest in the production.” The two parties are still looking for distribution and financing partners to kick off production.
Romance of Three Kingdoms is a Chinese novel, described as influential to Chinese culture as the Homeric epics have been to the West. Teeming with compelling stories and characters that display vivid individuality and heroism, this book is well loved and read in China and its neighbouring countries. One such beloved story is Borrow Arrows with Thatched Boats.
