DECORATE YOUR SKY

  • An interactive VR experience where the guests is rowing a boat around a very beautiful lake and collects the stars on their way which he can throw it onto the sky to decorate the sky.

  • The guests are offered enough sense of freedom with a choice to row the boat the direction they wish to.

  • There is a giant star that appears after the guests have certain amount of collectibles in his boat which serves as an indirect control. Once the guest collects the giant star there is a beautiful surprise element with a dolphin casually passing by.

My Contributions

​

  • Developed the boat movements mechanism to make it feel organic with the Vive controllers.

  • Design interactions for each stage considering the interest curve.

  • One of the biggest challenges we faced was the movement of the boat and the rowing mechanism. The fine tuning of the speed was a challenge and we iterated the whole mechanism with every play test to understand how to tweak the boat physics to make it feel easy and organic for our guest.

​

Design Phase

​

We created a consistent, highly interactive and engaging experience that lets the naive guest feel like they have a lot of freedom in the choices they make. We focused on the following factors while designing the experience:

  • A good interest curve

  • Meaningful choices

  • Iterative Playtesting

  • Surprises

 

We built an interaction map for our world describing the way the guest will be guided to interact with the world. The interaction map forced us to think through the way the guest will interact and the method of indirect control to use.
