The Interview
The Interview is a virtual reality experience that takes viewers through the interview process for an internship at a fictional candy factory. After a brief orientation, the applicants put on a VR headset and are transported to a candy wonderland where they are immersed in a magical environment and experience it through the senses of sight, smell, touch, and sound.
It was a group project with Zack Kampf and Shannon Hu for Multi-Sensory Storytelling taught by Winslow Porter at ITP at NYU, Fall 2021. It was built using Unreal Engine.
