Teaming up with Emiliah Perez, we created a house of phobias for an interactive website to gently but eerily expose users to various subtle fears. We experimented with new software and techniques, including AI.

Antipathy
Experimentation
We experimented with AI to test its capabilities and ended up using to assist ideation, style development, and texturing. We also dove into Unreal Engine and attempted UMG to develop UI.
Design
Wanting to design a UI/UX system for the first time, we dipped our toes in gaming interfaces, mixing it with modern branding references to create a clean interactive web design. The blur and texture were subtle ways to add the character of the concept.
Test Walkthrough
After trying to use UMG with Unreal Engine to create an interactive experience and running into various issues on a tight turn around, we ultimately had to partially mock up the walkthrough. However, we maintained the look and idea of interaction through animation.
