This is a one-to-one digital twin of the cutest little café, nestled in downtown Frederick. We thought (well, I still think) that virtual reality could be an advertising game-changer for the right restaurant. So much of a restaurant's appeal is in its atmosphere and ambience, and no technology to date has captured that as well as immersive VR can. This space was our first proof-of-concept for this idea, complete with a prototype online ordering system.

Also check out Nola's short-lived sister restaurant, the Nook.

Paintings, which hung in the real restaurant exactly as depicted, are the work of several local Frederick artists whose names are credited in the virtual experience. Various bottles around the restaurant courtesy of an asset pack licensed by Braincave. The rest of the scene is all modeled and textured by yours truly.

I encourage you to explore this scene in 3D or VR via BraincaveXR using your Meta Quest headset or desktop computer. (Chrome recommended)
