Goal
Our goal is to create an immersive world exploring themes of inner turmoil and lucid dreaming to evoke an emotional reaction and sense of familiarity. We use the Oculus Rift, a consumer-end head mounted display, and the Razer Hydra, a motion and orientation detection game controller, to engage the user and allow them to explore the environment naturally.
Intended User Experience
We want the user to feel emotionally connected to our main character, Felix, and empathize with his struggles portrayed in our environment, namely the loss of a relationship and the burdens of an unfulfilling job. We hope users can reflect back on our project and liken it to something they have experienced.
