A Fear Of Heights, And Other Things

 

This is a VR experience which shows how virtual reality can invoke an involuntary response. I created the first scene - the canyon - as I wanted to demonstrate the effect to friends without having to guide them through a game to a suitable point. It was so effective I wanted to expand on it. This is very much aimed at being an experience you can keep in your library and bring out to show new users - it isn't a game so there aren't any challenges in it, and will have less effect on veteran VR users.

The current stationary scenes are:

  • A wooden bridge over a canyon
  • A narrow ledge on a cliff
  • The top of a building in a city
  • Being in a dark passageway with only a flip lighter
  • Being trapped underground with the walls closing in
  • In the ocean surrounded by sharks
  • On a window cleaning gondola on the side of a skyscraper


There are also scenes which include player movement:

  • Performing a base jump
  • Swinging round a city with grappling hooks

A small experience showing how effective VR presence is as fear of heights is such a visceral reaction.
Feel the rush of speed as you whip round the city with your grappling ropes. This is one of the scenes in "A Fear Of Heights, And Other Things", coming soon to Steam VR.
