Motion graphics & simulations
The team used step-like, staccato movements through motion graphics simulation to visually represent the experience of schizophrenia. This artistic choice helps convey the character's altered perception of reality. For optimal VR performance, the team developed a streamlined solution: rather than exporting complete geometric animations, they used data locator arrays from Houdini to control cube instances in Unity, allowing them to achieve the distinctive motion while minimizing performance costs through efficient data transfer.

Assets & lighting
The team produced a range of assets including characters, rigs, all type of props and environments, with carefully designed and baked lighting specific to each level, complemented by HDR cubemaps for environmental lighting and reflections. This approach to baking lighting into assets and using HDR cubemaps is particularly important in VR, where real-time performance is critical while still maintaining high visual quality.
