This is a hyper-immersive VR game with gestures that focuses on “me” as a player gradually lost in a world where I can see, hear, smell and feel. The concept of the game draws on the idea of Inception movie, where the dream (or virtual world) is a sub-real world. There are many “NPC” consciousnesses that may seem friendly but ultimately aim to kill the player in order to take over the player’s body and out of the “game space”. The player needs to find the truth in all the seemingly plausible “game” routines to successfully wake up. But how easy is this? It is hard to escape once people are immersed in what they believe to be reality, as in Truman’s world. Can you really find out what the truth is when your five senses are beginning to deceive you? Will you be able to escape once you know the so-called “truth”?
Storyline
“Me” as a player gradually lost in a world where I can see, hear, smell and feel. It is a place where you can learn magic, learn to fly and learn everything that doesn’t make sense in reality. At first, “I” would think of it as a game, and I would choose the “NPC” gifts and quests as “I” pleased, but later “I” would feel more and more like it was a real world because that’s what my five senses told “me”. But “I” didn’t realise that it was all a trap and a false reality. The concept of the game draws on the idea of Inception movie, where the dream (or virtual world) is a sub-real world. In my setting, these scenes represent layers of consciousness for “me”. There are many “NPC” consciousnesses that may seem friendly but ultimately aim to kill the player in order to take over the player’s body and out of the “game space”. The player needs to find the truth in all the seemingly plausible “game” routines to successfully wake up.
Inspration: Inception movie
Inception is a film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets. In this the idea is put forward that dreams are secondary realities where consciousness can be modified. Once the owner of the dream world thinks it is real he or she will be trapped in the dream forever, unable to distinguish between reality and the dream world. This inspired me, why don’t I make a game so that people can experience this feeling too? The human brain is easily deceived. As long as all five senses feel “real”, people will believe it is real, just like the theory of the brain in the tank.
The above extends to a new word: immersion. Immersion is the ability to focus on the pleasure and satisfaction of the current target situation and forget about the real world situation. It is the degree of engagement, integration, vicariousness, the alternation of strong positive and negative emotions. I am going to use extended physical devices to extend people’s immersion in VR
