About
Elsland is an interactive story about XiaoMing, our protagonist’s journey to a place that only exists in his imaginations, as the name of the piece suggested, Elsland. It is a story about how inescapable reality is and XiaoMing’s choice between living in his own or everybody else’s world. As audience watching the story unfold on the 120 feet long screen at IAC building, they can use their phones to help out XiaoMing to reach his final destination. All audience’s interactions are necessary to move the story forward until XiaoMing reaches his final destination, Elsland.
development
I worked with super talented Qice Sun, Carol Chen, Xinyue Li, Chenwei Jin to create this piece. The project was developed in Unity with mobile web interactions developed in Vue.js. My role in this project was to create all the interactions in Unity and built a server to allow realtime socket communications between audience and the Unity world.
