This project aims to break traditional storytelling frameworks by blending the physical and virtual realms to create an immersive artistic experience. The core mission is to fuse physical computing with extended reality (XR), turning passive viewers into active participants. The story will flow with the audience’s movements and choices, creating a vivid, interactive feast.
I got two distinct narrative themes are being explored and one of it will be th final one. The first, “Religion and Culture,” has players experience a judgment in the underworld where they perform the “Bwa Bwei” divination ritual to influence their fate. The second theme, “Politics and History,” places the user in an interrogation during Taiwan’s White Terror era. A polygraph machine monitors the player’s heart rate, triggering different reactions from the investigator.
This project will utilize Unreal Engine, Arduino, 3D printing, and MetaHuman to create these deeply interactive worlds.
