In the Eyes of Others: a Virtual Reality Project
This immersive VR project invites you to navigate the tension between external opinions and inner thoughts. Through interactive experiences, explore how the views of others shape our sense of self and the importance of trusting our own intuition.
What is the project
"In the Eyes of Others" is a virtual reality project that aims to explore the complex relationship between external influences and our internal sense of self.
Players will be introduced to segments of memory, where they can “communicate” with the humans and objects that are meaningful to them. Players will be able to interact with the environment through gaze interaction and explore the environment as though they are in the moment. As players progress through the scenes, they will be confronted with different decision points that challenge their perceptions and values.
There are 3 memories to explore
Project Process
What did I do to prepare for developing?
Scripting User Journey
Building Scenes in Unreal Engine
Designing Player Interaction
Scene landing: User lands on scene and gaze interaction is enabled
Ray tracing: Users see highlighted area they are looking at via ray tracing
Off-screen audio context: Users interact with objects based on off-screen audio context
Performance recording: System records user's performance or interaction time
Contextual response: Off-screen context/conversation changes according to performance
Interaction metrics: Responses triggered based on user interaction counts or duration
Time cycle: Triggered response that alters the time cycle
Room transformation: Triggered response that changes the environment or room
Level loading: Triggered response that loads a new level or scene
Creating Unreal Engine System Blueprints
