Deja vu, an Endless Virtual Journey

Project details match catalog

About

I've made an interactive film. It offers an infinite VR story and allows players to follow characters as they move between three parallel universes and experience a significant incident in three distinct orders.

Impact

It is an original narrative structure for interactive filmmaking within the VR medium. The film immerses viewers in a virtual 3D universe, a tesseract that has numerous gravity surfaces, and takes them on a memorable virtual journey.

Progress

We created a prototype that was shown at the Laval Virtual 2022 student competition. The film was then completed with the help of students and experts at Staffordshire University. We are currently looking for funding for releasing the product.

Team

I'm a PhD researcher and VR artist at Staffordshire University, where I'm studying new storytelling conventions and designing experiences categorized as open-world VR cinema.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
