## Description

Apple Design Awards 2025 Finalist | Social Impact

Coming soon to iPhone!

“AHOY! From Picardy” (Official Selection, Cannes XR Development Showcase) follows the caretaker of a broken island where it no longer rains. Picardy crafts an elaborate invitation—a vision of the future—for the one person who can fix it. 

This is your invitation to join in and begin anew. Step into a world of possibilities where Picardy’s vibrant, hand-drawn “hologram visions” transform the dusty ground, painting a picture of an island brought back to life.

The story unfolds within a grand globe diorama that can be placed anywhere.  Sit back and enjoy a cinematic escape, or step into the globe’s ring for an even more immersive experience and explore the tiniest details from any angle.

This project embraces groundbreaking techniques to celebrate the arrival of spatial storytelling—a world of light layered over our physical world. It combines hand-made physical models (3D-scanned into the digital space), hand-painted backdrops, and elegantly simplified characters with hand-painted textures—all creating a uniquely warm and approachable experience. 

Immersive, spatialized sound design with original music, surrounds guests in a rich sonic world. 

This chapter of Picardy’s story is only the beginning, serving as a first access point, an invitation to step into an expansive ocean awaiting discovery.

Format:

- English (spoken and written)
- Subtitles (coming later)
- Music-driven, linear narrative short film 
- Movable stage, viewable from any angle
