Immersed in Reminiscene
Virtual Environment Design
SAIC Senior Art Exhibition
2023
For the SAIC senior art exhibition, I wanted to demonstrate the advances of VR design and how it can be incorporated into a unique art experience with hand tracked poses.
To make this experience more user friendly, I opted to eliminate the need for controllers, and allow users to simply pick up the headset and experience the virtual environment with their natural and intuitive understanding of their own body.
This game was created using custom assets designed in Blender, custom scripts and shaders using C#, and Unity URP Pipeline.
Experience
To make this experience unique for each visitor, I made the environment's colors, music, hands, etc all swap between multiple different options, at random intervals. This meant that the first user, and the 4th or 5th user will have drastically different experiences which cannot be seen again. This allowed this art piece to generate discussion between visitors who could share what they saw that others could not, and felt exciting to return to experience a different scene again.
