What Happened on Earth?

**_What Happened on Earth?_** is the inaugural production for the **LSU Digital Media Arts & Engineering** (DMAE) 2019 fall cohort. This is the first time the class used **Unity** and produced work for **Virtual Reality** headsets. This 8 student class used assets they downloaded to bring a children's storybook to life about the future world our children are inheriting. For most of the students this was their first 3-D project as most of their work was mostly in 2-D. It was a non-interactive experiential walk through a pop-up story book. It contained a desert level, an ocean biome, a norther environment with floating ice bergs then the story takes a dark turn. The students carefully picked camera paths that gave a very rich ride through environments that was made for a sit down VR experience. Each environment is revisited with what the future might hold for the various geographical locations. It was a good introduction to the issues of speed, scale and timing in a VR environment and was quite impactful with the headsets on! The above video was captured through the Unity editor.
