ZEN (itch)
About
This is a fully immersive, interactive experience to demonstrate a range of sensations set in the amazing fantasy World of Zen.
The scene takes you on a virtual reality journey from the riverbank, over the stream and rising to the central golden tree where you can reach out and touch objects (lotus flowers and jellyfish for example) and rotate your fingers in a circle to create a wood fairy at any time.
The aim of the project is to gently introduce people to VR Worlds, interactivity and the features of immersion by providing a beautiful, engaging and also predictable environment to journey through.
In addition to a Oculus Rift, the system uses a front mounted Leap Motion and we recommend headphones for the 3D spatial sound enhancements.
The custom software controls our custom motion seats and scent delivery system but these are not essential to run the VR aspect of the project.
ZEN forms part of our 2016 demo work for our immersive brand led projects and is partners by a second demo experience called THE LIMIT which, whilst visually as engaging, is more claustrophobic, unpredictable and uses EEG brain readings to adapt the storyline.
Please enjoy and feedback is very much welcomed.
