Clouded VR is an interactive virtual reality experience that we developed in collaboration with Vincent Boon
Role: Full production and creative development from concept, script writing to installation presentation.
This short Virtual Reality experience is a satirical commentary on our relationship with the virtual world through personal devices, an experimental story driven by interaction.
An interactive offbeat VR snack of about 15min. Upload your mind to the cloud and immerse yourself in a dystopian virtual holiday in the cloud hotel. In this abstract narrative experience, it is up to you to figure out the rules of the world while your attention is diverted.
Original idea by Vincent Boon & Enzo Soubra, created by UNI_VERSE studio in collaboration with Antfood for the entire sonic world built around it.
This project started as an internship project by Vincent Boon, as I got involved it turned into a full blown studio passion project. After managing to get a budget from the studio, many people got involved to try to help bring the vision to life.
This experience was released for free for anyone with a VR headset to try on the 14th of October 2022 and premiered during Adnight Amsterdam. As a part of the promotion for the release, we made custom Post card vinyl from the Cloud Hotel with Antfood that plays the original soundtrack of the experience.
