Lycan VR

Lycan is a virtual reality project that transforms your identity into a werewolf.

You, the interactor, are able to experience metamorphosis in a 3D virtual environment with immersive physics, shadows, and characters; while vivid audio-visual cues drive the scene's narrative on dramatic story beats — rewinding you back to the medieval age. Environment-connecting hand models act as threshold objects to further enhance your feelings of presence as you shapeshift.

The following interactive narrative explores VR as a storytelling medium, made possible with the help of Dr. Janet Murray and the resources she so kindly shared with my project team at Georgia Tech.
