New Wave

New Aes­the­tic: Future Spaces

New Wave’ is a VR expe­ri­ence that fol­lows a couple’s roman­tic trip to the beach that gets inter­rupt­ed by their twis­ted and hid­den inner fan­ta­sies. Using head-track­ing tech­no­lo­gy, the VR user choo­ses who to lis­ten to.

Twin­ning the voice­over and 3D sound design to draw your atten­ti­on with POV cine­ma­to­gra­phy, the expe­ri­ence simu­la­tes the sen­se of occu­py­ing someone else’s consciousness.
