A simulation of imprisonment designed by The Guardian. In this experience you don’t have a virtual avatar. You’re left with only the physical sensation of your own body and the limits of the room, but you can partially control the environment with your eyes. The simulation is accompanied by an audio recording from a real prison, which helps to fully immerse you in the story.

Unrest VR

This VR experience depicting the world through the eyes of a person suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), was released last year together with a documentary about life of Jennifer Brea and other people suffering from this condition. Unrest VR shows you the everyday life of Jennifer which is mostly spent bedridden due to the disease.

In the Eyes of the Animal

IEOTA simulates a walk in the forest from the perspective of different animals. We rarely consider the fact that human eye in all its complexity is just one branch of the evolution of vision, very different from those of other animals. This experience allows you to imagine how a mosquito, a dragonfly, a frog can see the world around them.
