Mad Journey (2023), stands as a synthesis of virtual reality and physical immersion. Set within the confines of the Dreamcube, an avant-garde physical virtual reality platform, it presents participants with a unique expedition.
Through the lens of immersive storytelling, they step into the role of a painkiller, navigating the intricate labyrinth of the human body, and experiencing its vastness from an unparalleled perspective.

Technical Details
The entirety of Mad Journey is meticulously designed and executed within Unity. Utilizing OptiTrack, we detect props adorned with reflective dots that are captured by the system. This real-time spatial data is relayed back to our server, initiating various dynamic elements which are then projected into the space. Complementing the visuals, over eight strategically placed spatial audio speakers enhance the immersion, wrapping participants in a rich auditory experience.

AR Filter - Painkiller Work Badge
Additionally, I've developed an AR filter allowing participants to embed their faces within a painkiller capsule badge. This enhances their immersion during the journey and provides a memorable keepsake afterward, serving both as a cherished memory and a promotional tool.
