Beyond Within was a mesmerizing 360° virtual reality experience created by Mumbai-based electronic music producer Spryk and boutique motion design studio Tessellate, which transported viewers through the cosmos and into the microscopic realms within.
This 5-minute cinematic journey revealed parallels between the universe’s vast expanse and the particles composing our bodies, using Oculus Rift headsets, Subpac haptic feedback, and custom telescopic VR extensions for heightened immersion.
The experience began with the night sky’s grandeur, transforming telescopes into microscopes to equate stellar formations with atomic structures inside us. Spatial binaural soundscapes—crafted from compelling synths and electronic textures—guided participants through uncharted realms, blending orchestral emotion with sci-fi wonder.
It challenged perceptions of space, inviting awe at what lay beyond our skies and within ourselves.
Beyond Within premiered as a festival highlight at Magnetic Fields, featuring dual VR stations in a themed tent with retractable chairs and a three-person crew for seamless operation.
Gizmodo praised it as “a fascinating virtual reality infused audiovisual showcase,” noting Spryk’s “emotional and perfectly in tune” orchestral sound with the sci-fi theme. Wild City anticipated its power to “overwhelm viewers with an exploration of what existed beyond our skies… and within ourselves”.
Powered by Oculus Rift with dedicated PCs and Subpac, the piece delivered a unique 360° binaural audio environment alongside art-directed visuals.
Spryk handled sound design, music, and direction, while Tessellate led visual design, VR environments, and technical execution—produced via Skip-a-beat.
