Echoed Grin (Smile Interaction)
A VR experience that uses facial-expression tracking to encourage users to practice smiling in a metaphorical world. The concept is straightforward but powerful. Picture this: you become a lonely rayfish in a dark blue underwater world, surrounded by ghost-like fish. It feels lonely. Now, the only way to bring light and life into this world is by smiling. You swim with your arms in the ocean, within a very soft music, and when you smile at the ghost fish, they react – the ghostly fish transform into vibrant, lively creatures, and the whole environment warms up with light and colour.
Integrating the interaction within the storyline to craft a VR experience that helps people build confidence to break the isolated statement and overcome the barriers in their real life.

Je me souviens
This VR narrative project aims to show a personal stream-of-consciousness about the feeling of homesickness on a journey of the train, representing the changing state of mind when the traveler starts a journey. You will be on a train heading to a distant land. As you watch the familiar streets move away from you, you hear the familiar sound of the clock chiming. The tide of longing rises in your heart, gradually pulling you to the abyssal ocean...
