Historia Virtualis

Nominee of the Talent Award 2026

Description

Historia Virtualis is an educational multiplayer experience for three players set in St. Pölten, Austria. Inspired by the city’s Roman roots in the 1st century AD, we created a game that gamifies history.

We utilized modern Meta SDK features to achieve a controller-less, fully immersive, colocated environment where virtual coordinates align perfectly with physical space. We integrated the Meta Avatars SDK, enabling users to import their personal Meta Horizon Avatars.

The current prototype supports three players in a shared virtual world, united by the collaborative goal of baking a festive bread. Each player is assigned a unique tool for puzzle solving: an Axe, a Peel or Flint and Steel.

These tools need to be used cooperatively to gather the ingredients for a delicious loaf of bread.
