Wacky Safari

Game | Sep. 2018 (2 Weeks) | HTC Vive

For Round 2 of Building Virtual Worlds at the Entertainment Technology Center. Our team uses Vive with trackers to develop a game-like experience demonstrating the concept of freedom. The game builds up the environment for the guest so that he/she feels like it's in a safari park, and gives the guest a camera so that he/she could enjoy this adventure. The guest will take pictures of whatever they want, but will automatically capture the moment that we design which will trigger the next moment.

​

The experience was selected as 1 of 16 to be showcased at the festival.

​

Notable Contributions:

• The idea of implementing a camera inside VR and taking pictures during the experience.

• Design of using the wireless mouse in the prop which takes the right button as taking pictures, left button as viewing picture, and scroll as zooming in and out.

• The idea of having the bird as the first target with the voice over "Look, there is a bird!" to smoothly indicate the guest to learn and feel smart in the game.

• The climax moment of glowing small fish gathered and formed a huge whale-like group which doing the same animation that the whale does.

• The idea of saving the pictures took from the game which brought surprise to guests.
