Final Major Project - MA Virtual and Extended Realities

Collaborators: Abil Gunawan and Jaye Marigold

As we grow up, we leave behind a part of ourselves. We are told to be serious, work hard, study, to grow up. And we do, but the part of ourselves that loves to play, to delight in the joy of living is stil there... The Self We Find invites you to rediscover the part of you that may have been left behind through engaging in an interactive mixed reality experience that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality!

Work In Progress - Ongoing

VR App Prototype - August 2022

Created in partnership with Farhad Berahman, Industry Partner for the MA Virtual and Extended Realities Storylab Module at the University of the West of England.

Storyline developed by Yihan Du, Pablo de las Cuevas, and Dominique Vyborna. Sound by Yihan Du. Unreal Engine flashback scenes by Pablo de las Cuevas. Unity application by Dominique Vyborna. Voiceover Iain J McCaffery.
