Transformative Virtual Experience

UFO

Listen to the Universe Within Yourself

What is the state of your consciousness beyond thoughts of work, finances, family, or politics?

Every day, every minute, we live in a state of danger, filled with anxiety, uncertainty, and noise. 

We never feel entirely safe, even when we’re calm and relaxed, surrounded by loved ones. The sense of danger even follows us into our sleep.

But how can we truly hear ourselves and the world around us, and perceive the value of our lives from a new perspective?

Story

“UFO” is a captivating pseudo-documentary VR series featuring 9 people from around the world share their extraordinary stories of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. Through their experiences, we embark on a transformative voyage of coexistence and empathy, delving into the sacred depths of their encounters.

These poignant stories resonate, reshaping our understanding of life and the Universe, and unveiling profound insights into our existential journey.

Therapeutic VR Odyssey

“UFO” is an anthology exploring the profound and sacred aspects of life often overshadowed by the daily grind.

Each episode is devoted to a distinct theme, resolved in its specific genre and format, integrated with virtual environments and effects.

This VR piece is designed to provide people with a therapeutic experience, immersing them in a transpersonal experience full of insights and discoveries.
 
The blend of technology and human stories in a face-to-face format enables us to perceive life values from a previously unfathomable perspective.

Proof of Concept

Characters / References

Nine stories will be filmed across Europe, featuring actors of different nationalities and backgrounds.

All characters will speak in their native languages, with optional English voiceover provided.

User Experience / General Information

The main format of the UFO project is an interactive LBVR installation for groups of up to 9 people, consisting of a prologue, three chapters and a finale.

The project requires a space with an approximate area of 30 square meters with Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headsets placed inside.

The prologue and finale will be shared by the entire group. The three chapters and the events in between are individualized and depend on the group’s choices.

The physical space of the installation has a changing light and sound atmosphere.

Transcending
Borders and Nationalities

We firmly believe that the pursuit of spiritual awakening is a universal and essential endeavor for individuals worldwide.

As a collective journey, UFO aims to assist people in seeking connection and meaning amidst the vast unknowns of life and the universe.
