Simulation, VR Exploration & Interactive Worlds

Christopolis is my ongoing exploration of immersive simulation environments, experimental virtual reality, and large-scale interactive worlds.

The project combines:

While many of these environments are technically “games,” I approach them as systems to explore and test.

The goal is not simply gameplay — it’s understanding how complex digital worlds behave when pushed to their limits.

Featured Experiment

This video demonstrates Star Citizen Alpha 4.5 PTU running in experimental VR during Arena Commander free flight.

The test was captured in native 4K using the Origin M50 over Astor’s Clearing, combining cockpit flight and on-foot exploration.

Star Citizen’s VR support is still experimental — but when it works, the sense of scale and immersion is extraordinary.

Many Christopolis videos repeat the same routes or actions.

This is intentional.

Running controlled scenarios multiple times allows me to observe:

This method turns gameplay into controlled simulation testing.

Typical configuration used during testing:

These settings allow exploration of high-fidelity environments while maintaining stable frame pacing.

Large simulation worlds represent an interesting intersection of:

The same thinking used in building infrastructure or AI systems applies here as well.

Complex environments require structure, optimization, and experimentation to truly come alive.

Christopolis is where I explore those ideas.

Upcoming Christopolis projects will explore:

As these platforms evolve, Christopolis will continue documenting what becomes possible.

Additional content and experiments will appear here as the project evolves.
