NICK BUSIETTA (OB 1997)

LIMINAL VR, A LEADING VIRTUAL REALITY COMPANY, DEVELOPED AN INTERACTIVE HERITAGE EXPERIENCE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY AND A NOT-FORPROFIT CALLED THE FRIENDS OF THE CERBERUS. THE EXPERIENCE RECREATES THE HISTORIC HMVS CERBERUS FROM THE 1870S – NOW SHIPWRECKED IN BLACK ROCK.

Liminal’s Co-Founder and Managing Director, Nick Busietta, is an 1997 Old Boy and Brightonian who started at BGS from Kindergarten all the way up to Year 12. Knowing that the Year 10 boys study Cerberus, Nick invited Matthew Wardell’s Visual Communication and Design class to try the experience and explore the ship from a unique and immersive perspective.

The boys worked their way through various scenes aboard the shipshovelling coal, manning the wheel, and meeting some of the crewmen. It was a fantastic experience that the boys thoroughly enjoyed and only one of many other innovative products developed by Liminal. As a dedicated VR company with a dedicated team of neuroscientists and psychologists, Liminal specialises in an impressive range of experiences, from soft skills training and immersive marketing to their flagship product, the Liminal Platform - an engaging tool for improving wellbeing.

Thank you to Nick for this incredible opportunity. We look forward to seeing what’s next from Liminal!
