Since its inception, the goal of a Virtual Reality simulation has always been to suspend disbelief in its users, masking the physical with the virtual. Over the years, the technology has evolved to feature photo-realistic visuals that blur the lines between what is real and what isn't. This article aims to give creatives the best practices to follow when building environments in VR. The article demonstrates how one can systematically approach the design and development of a v

Developing a VR experience has always been daunting for many reasons, be it the pressure of crafting a novel concept or narrative or developing a ground-breaking but intuitive mechanic that elevates user experience and playability to the next level. With the increased interest in interactive storytelling experiences over the years, creative practitioners have begun experimenting with immersive storytelling techniques in VR, giving their audience a certain amount of agency to

The afterlife has always been an important area of interest amongst humans, with many religions such as Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and Hinduism believing in it. In recent times, even science has come to acknowledge the existence of the afterlife, with researchers discovering evidence of the existence of consciousness beyond death. The article is a compilation of preliminary research and analysis on the phenomenon of an intermediate state between death and the afterlife. Th

In recent times, immersive platforms such as augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality have enhanced experiences made by developers in the entertainment, marketing and training sector by transporting consumers into virtual worlds which can be interacted with realistically. While immersive technology has been made accessible, these experiences can negatively impact the audience's experience when there is dissonance between their respective components. As a creative
