Looking into past examples of interactive installations I came across this piece that explores the same theme. It also have the same technical components in that it uses narrative and interactivity to express its themes.

A few little breakages and parts that didn’t work but overall i’m pretty pleased with them and have a better understanding of what geometry and...Read More
This is the end result. It was a lot of fun to put it together and easy to get lost in it. Like anything, your left with the i should just tweak one more thing feeling or maybe i should move that object slightly. In such a short time frame its not too bad though....Read More
Heres the final game engine main scene. A lot went in to this in a very short time (1 week on the unity end) so its not particularly well optimised but as its a desktop build and with current processing power it will pretty much run on any system with a few frame rate issues...Read More
