Users tested the scenario via MetaQuest 2 VR headset and although the reviews were that the simulation was quite basic in visuals, it was a great way to learn how to survive in the wild with the navigation being straightforward and the guide easy to understand.
In the end I created a set of 3D storyboard scenes using Imagen AI and animated them using Runway AI to help the story come to life and show a more realistic version of the prototype as a promo.
