A MS teacher requested an immersive experience of the industrial revolution. So I created this simple prototype coal mine experience for our students using Blender, Unity & Engage VR. >> cramped conditions, collapses, fire, poor light, danger & an AI guide at the end. #VRcademicSky

Middle School students and I have been working on iterative #WorldBuilding #ExperienceDesign & #Storytelling to create "Elevation Social" in the Engage VR platform using Unity. Collaborate with your team to navigate the treacherous 3D maze to locate the alchemy lab, dungeon & throne. #VRcademicSky
