CREATE FOR VR- Wake up to Reality!
In this one-week expertise, I focused on understanding virtual reality and learning the workflow to create a VR showroom. I used Blender and Unity to bring my Ideas from the 3d Modelling space to the virtual world.
Understanding the setup and procedure for the virtual environment was the first task of the week. I tried to use some simple commands to build a snowman in a 3D environment after learning the fundamentals of Blender. Day 2 started off with another exercise on how to export a model to Unity from Blender and generate a Euro palette. In order to interact with the model in the virtual world, we learned how to export the Asset through HCC Bundle.
CONCEPT PRESENTATION
We were advised to use mood boards and sketches to present our ideas. Even though i only had a 15 by 7-metre design area, I still wanted to make a visually infinite and sci-fi-inspired setting. I aimed to create an imaginative and futuristic concept. I looked at several technologies, including time travel, interplanetary travel, robots, cyborgs, and extraterrestrial life. The color palette I attempted to use and various samples of the art that inspired me are included in the mood board below.
FINAL CONCEPT
For my Final Idea, I created this sketch that was Inspired by a Documentary “The Social Dilemma”. How big tech companies influence our emotions, Behaviour and have total control over what we see on social media platforms. There are many conspiracy theories like the Matrix and the Illuminati that there are people even above the government that control everything in this world. By giving access to our data, These people can harvest our data to sell advertisements and control our lives with their algorithm. The sketch shows a simple Mobile interface and 3 People around it that are controlling and tracking our Data usage. These bigger authorities play a big role in our daily life because they can manipulate whatever we see and impact our emotions, behavior, and consumption of knowledge and thought. The Interface opposite to them shows how they can collect and track our data based on Interest, Contacts, Last site visit, and social circle. On the Interface screen, I tried to create a queue that shows a sequence of people on a conveyer belt ready to pass through the scanner.
