The experience starts by feeling like a simple meditative experience—an immersive coloring book in virtual reality. The player is greeted with a serene scene and peaceful music yet, something else is in the background, ever changing as the player moves through the scene. Sounds, like voices, but more like murmurs.
As the player colors more of the scene, introspective prompts are revealed such as, “what is at the heart of your story?” When a prompt is revealed, so are answers from other players past. The murmurs were thoughts that could have been from anywhere, from anyone. It is then the player is prompted to contribute their own thoughts and then discover more prompts.
My contributions on this project consist of:
- Prototyping in VR
- Development in Unity and creation of assets
- Mapping out the user experience in VR
- Designing & building 3D models for the controllers and environment
- Rigging the hand controller
