Hello! You’re at the week 2 postmortem for “Unto the Horizon”, an ETC BVW Round 4 project at Carnegie Mellon University. Here’s a quick glance of what we did for week 1:

• Round 4 is a story-telling round.
• We’re using the Cave Autonomous Virtual Environment (CAVE) room. It is a room with 3 big screens and a moving floor.
• We’re telling a story about launching a rocket. We aim to invoke emotions of accomplishment and the joy that comes with it.
• It’s an asymmetrical experience: One team will be in the CAVE as pilots, and the other team in another space as Mission Control. Plays like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.
• Feedback: Lack of story, no interest curve, not intense enough.
