Stage of the project: Prototype or product is ready
The TimeTravel.BUS combines an immersive real-time VR experience with real motion in space: Visitors do not need any devices, but can see the Berlin of the 1920s through (or on) the windows of the bus as they pass by. Physically they are at exactly the place they see - but they experience it at two different moments in time.
The Timetravel.BUS is a replica of an original bus, thus the passengers experience a real 1920s bus ride. Its appearance is deceptive however: Not only is the Timetravel.BUS equipped with newest technology, but also with a clean electric drive.

First milestone on the way to the TimeTravel.BUS is TTB’s location based VR experience. It is designed in such a way that it can stand alone as an independent project - but the produced 3D material can and will also flow into the mobile experience.

Finance
For our MVP:
180 PAX/h ( 3x60 PAX max/h) x 30 % occupation ratio x 10 h x 360 days x ø10 € =
1,944,000 euro
Business model
Our business model is, of course, largely based on the sale of tickets. This will represent the bulk of our revenue. With an average entry fee of 10 Euro we can generate revenues of about 1 Mio in the first year. This is our most pessimistic assumption with an occupancy rate of approx. 30%. In addition, there are other sources of revenue such as product placement, advertising, merchandising and licensing. And of couse all thse experiences then can also be sold on platforms like steam. Our goal is to double our revenues each year.
We are looking for all kind of cooperations to create new time travel destinations.
Money will be spent on
finalizing our MVP.
Building our first tour around in Berlin.
Mainly building assets and buying the VR-machinery.
As a location-based VR, we are subject to the same market mechanics as the retail sector in the classic sense. In this respect, the greatest care must be taken to ensure a good location and easily readjustable marketing. We are currently working on 2 very interesting locations. In the SWOT analysis in the Annex ds Pitschdecks you will find a collection of our risks.
